I agree. We donated an old but very serviceable Asus Netbook to my elderly relative, then went through the pain of trying to find a distro that would run on it.

Prior to that it ran (strolled) Windows 7. I eventually ended up installing Porteus Kiosk which actually runs very nicely on the Netbook and has the added benefit of being granny-proof.
