Netbook Distro List

[greenian2]

i've got vectorlinux running on a acer aspireone  (the 8gb ssd 512meg one ) runs fine

[user@localhost ~]$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1508       1273        234          0         20        543
-/+ buffers/cache:        709        798
Swap:         1027          0       1027

Wow, so even with 15 tabs open on FF, writer, terminal, pdf reader, I'm only using half the memory? No, really the buffers and caches are on the RAM, right,
or on the SSD? If on SSD why add them to RAM mem?

OK, you're using 1273  of 1508 leaving 234 free.

But if you DON'T include buffers/cache (stuff that's been cached into RAM to make your system quicker) your OS and software are only using 709

But if that's from a cold boot to the desktop, and without starting any applications .. that's quite high, specially for Peppermint or I'd expect Linpus.

I've added which distros are rolling-release. Are there any others that are also rolling-release?

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

All of them can have a rolling release if on a CDROM

[A Future Pilot]

Lol!! I see what you did there

[SeZo]

I might be wrong but I do not think Crunchbang is a rolling release.
That was my main reason to move from Crunchbang to Archbang

[A Future Pilot]

Ah quite right. I was confused...I'll edit that
