I cannot see anything pictorial in Lao Jia Huo's last post, number 32, ( I can see the lass in yours as I answered about that.)
Didn't mean to bust your chops! Point your linux box to Lao Jia Huo's pretty in pink post. Would indeed be regrettable if you missed that post!

Actually, what I want is "anything but windows" on the netbook. I spent so many years having to learn arch tricks to keep a wintel rig running, i felt like pavlov's dog. imagine if you had to work that hard to run your microwave or car or air conditioner. then again, i get the feeling that linux is not unlike windows in that it requires a lot of mental and technical overhead to use. if linux were fun and easy, i could see loading it up on this otherwise useless netbook and giving it a spin. if android is available for this, or google chrome OS (or are these the same?), I'd be game for that too. Just don't want to spend to much time mastering an OS just for the sake of mastering an OS. I'd rather reread Ulysses.

My little never-been-used Samsung is the N128, with Intel's atop cpu.
