I have an old ASUS eePC netbook with 2GB of memory that I've upgraded to having SSD storage.
I installed a Linux distro on it. I can't remember which one, but I just know that the GUI is barely usable, locks up, and crashes.
Anyone know of a bare bones Linux distro whose GUI could possibly run OK on such a limited machine?
