    in the topic WattOS on eeepc in the forum Introduce Yourself

    Hi

    Only been using WattOS for a couple of days, but loving it already.  I've been using Jolicloud on my Asus eeepc 4G for quite a while, but found it a bit slow & had pretty poor battery life (so much so I thought th battery was knackered!).

    Tried all sorts of other distros, but all had drawbacks. Slitaz & Puppy are small & fast, but a bit too basic, missing things like suspending when you close the laptop lid.

    Tried the 'Buntus, which used to work quite well, but none really support installing on a 4gb harddrive anymore, even Lubuntu.

    I'm intigued by ChromeOS, love the simplicity, but hardware support isn't really up to scratch as yet, even in Hexxah's spins, so I wanted to find a distro that was fast, small, & uptodate.

    While searching forums to find a way of installing a cut down version of Lubuntu, I found a post recommending WattOS, which I'd never heard of.  30mins later the eeepc was up & running, all hardware working perfectly, & disc space to spare.

    Have to say I very impressed.  WattOS is simple but polished, just what I needed.

    Thanks alot

    Bill
