Hi playmates,
My wife's laptop (Samsung R20) currently runs MS Windblows Vista and now takes so long to boot she can make a cup of tea while waiting (literally).
Huh! I could probably cook a three course meal waiting for my Acer to load XP - and that's with autoupdates etc turned off.
Colour yourself lucky.
I have found an old 2005 version of Knoppix laying around and she is amazed at how quick it is (running off the CD) but I was wondering if there is an even faster/leaner distro she could use. The distro must run off the CD and the browser must be capable of accessing Facebook (about all she uses the computer for!).
Well, there's Crunchbang, but I don't know if it comes with a browser.
Why not make a small(ish) Linux partition and park the browser there? Doing it that way round won't mess anything up. (Never try to install Windows *after* installing Linux...)
