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
