I've an AA1 running Linpus, which is buggy and slower than I anticipated. It's bloated down with superfluous software that I don't need, and that you have to follow a series of complex guides to remove. (Even then you risk screwing up parts of Linpus which are dependant on it.)
All I use it for is browsing and light coding on the move. Windows, and the likes of Ubuntu Netbook Remix are all too 'big' for that.
It sounds like the Google Chrome OS is exactly what my netbook needs.
- mooism2 17y agoI get the impression that the only native application it will run is Chrome. So how are you going to edit your source code, push/pull your changes, test it, run it? I've seen web-based ssh clients, and someone might be able to write a web-based vnc / remote desktop client, but I can't see it being useful for offline coding.
- Jem 17y agoYou're grossly over-complicating my needs. None of my websites (that I would edit on the netbook) are business critical / make money / have any real world importance whatsoever. I can log in via cpanel, roll out some coding amends live and worry about breaking things as and when it happens.
- mooism2 17y agoAh, right, I misinterpreted what you meant by "light coding".
