Spent some time today installing a barebones (ie. no desktop) version of Ubuntu on an old Acer Aspire One netbook. Feels weird to refer to it as old, as it was only a few years ago that netbooks were hot as anything. Of course then Microsoft felt the need to spread their OS virus onto all the Linux netbooks. The rest is history--no one uses netbooks anymore. So I guess Microsoft won, and lost.
Pretty silly to imagine running Windows on a netbook....
Notes to self:
- I used Unetbootin and the Ubuntu Minimal Install iso image.
- Installed only the basic command line stuff
- Now to add CLISP and a few other things....
