Hi guys
I currently run mint on a couple of old Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbooks and have been considering getting a chromebook as an upgrade. The use case is travelling light, VPN back home, access to a browser and email, so nothing that will really stretch a laptop (but I /don't/ want an android tab for this). So I need light weight, long battery life, clear (but not necessarily large) screen, decent keyboard. Probably something like the 11.6" Samsung or the Acer C7xx series.
But of course I don't want chromeOS so I want to install a linux distro (probably mint) but any distro with XFCE will do fine by me.
Any experiences/recommendations out there? Any devices in particular that I should stay away from?
Thanks in advance
Mick
