Linux on netbooks

I have an HP mini, 8.9" screen, 1.6 atom processor, 1 gig memory, 16 gig SSD, 16 gig thumb drive, and an external powered CD/DVD writer. I installed Mandriva 2009 on the SSD, and it runs almost twice as fast as XP did. I have used the compiz -fusion for show off. It plays the KDE games, plus foo-billards. It is used mainly for internet and mail while my wife is in the hospital, so it serves the purpose it was intended for and I am so happy I removed XP and put Linux on. Much faster, and more secure.
