I have a friend with an EeePC 900 that I am considering picking up for my wife. It originally came with Windows XP, but has been running Kubuntu for some time now. I'll be wiping it and starting from scratch and am wondering what the desktop environment or even distribution of choice is around here. I am most leaning toward installing LMDE, but I am open to changing that with the right arguments. <br>
<br>I'm really looking for something with a decent amount of polish, but preferably a relatively light footprint. I just saw Ubuntu Netbook remix with the Unity desktop (whatever that is) and it looks quite intriguing. I'm just kind of shying away from Ubuntu since I'd rather not have to reinstall every six months.<br>
<br>It's an older EeePC 900 with I believe a celeron Mobile processor and an 8GB SSD, but it has been upgraded to 2GB RAM. On second thought, is this even a decent deal for $100?<br clear="all">--<br>Dave<br><br>
