Got one of these things lying around and need an operating system. Any recommendations? This thing runs on a 1.6ghz 32 bit Atom, has 2 GB of RAM in it, and still has the original 8 GB SSD it came with.

Windows XP
BunsenLabs
Running strong for days on ancient hardware, pic related
>>55115757
What's that, why not Lubuntu or something
>>55115780
Not hipster enough
>>55115780
Runs horribly believe it or not.

>An installation from the live ISOs uses approximately 2.1G of space on the hard drive.
That's fucking huge.
>>55115730
Ubuntu.
>>55115863
Sadly pretty standard now, unless your looking at Damn Small or something
>>55115890
If OP will be able to find drivers for DSL, that would be nice.
What do they have in those 2.1 GB? Drivers?
>>55115890
Not really standard considering most distributions give the option to use a minimal CD.
>>55115863
arch with a lightweight wm would take up around 1g
maybe less if you're careful about it
>>55115755
This.
>>55115730
Crunch bang linux. I have one of those exact models. Runs fine
I use Simplicity on mine and haven't had any problems so far.
>>55115730
I have one with 1 GB of RAM instead of 2 and the same processor and run Archbang with Palememe for the browser, it runs well even when I swap the 1 GB RAM stick for a 512 MB one. Also, if you go with Linux you should seriously consider a WM optimized for keyboard navigation like most tiling WMs as it definitely beats using the small touchpad.

try gentoo

>XP
Back to red dit with you
>>55116240
#! was abandoned nearly a year ago. There are a few distros that tried to carry on its legacy, but most users just went to Debian or Arch.
>>55115730
OpenBSD
Win7 classic or WinXP
>>55116603
>XP
*POSReady 2009
>>55115730
Fedora with lxde
>>55115730
Debian, minimal (without x, without gdm, without DE, without wm).
Then, install bare minimum and light. So, X and a WM. MAYBE a panel. Maybe.
I suggest openbox
>>55116620
XP is still pretty fucking good.
>>55116761
Yeah, and POSReady is the same thing except it's got security updates, dumbass.
>>55116784
>POSReady
Never heard of it dumbass
>>55117130
Google's a thing, dumbass.
>>55116460
pussy
I run ubuntu from my lelonvo S10, thats with unity fuckers
(send help)
>>55115730
THROW SUM ARCH ON DAT HOE
>>55117165
Why would you do such a thing to yourself?
Nice netbook though, I've got the same one.
Windows 10, runs fine on 1gb of ram
>>55115730
as a side note some of these netbooks with atom cpu have 64 bit cpu´s where only for the uefi it runs as a 32 bit cpu
check the specifications and you might be able to install amd64 build of a distro
>>55117183
>Why would you do such a thing to yourself?
curious is all, i had Xubuntu oh here and wanted to see if it could handle Unity, it can, sort of a bit too heavy.
>>55117159
Okay dumbass
>>55115757
This. #!++ is also a thing. Prericed Debian+Openbox is a good combo, especially for old hardware.
>>55115730
I've been running LXLE on my HP Mini with the same processor, same amount of ram.
