Blog I tried the first installation on my Dual Atom nettop, for no particular reason other than it was sitting here running. Well, maybe it will, at least I'll give it a shot, because I've got to get Ant (the Dual Atom) back to where I can use it again.

Talkback 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.
