I have an EeePC 901with 2Gb RAM and Ubuntu netbook edition installed - it works pretty well for development and web dev type stuff - I even wrote a book with it. About the only thing that I wouldn't use it for is anything requiring a large screen (eg. layout and design) or something requiring large amounts of processing power (eg. Running Eclipse or compiling lots of stuff). Other than that, it's great.
- grobolom 16y agoDefinitely true - I do want to say, however, that newer netbooks will be able to handle all but the largest projects in Eclipse/Netbeans with ease, so this part is less of a consideration. Your main bottleneck will really be memory, which should still be adequate.
