An LTS request
I have discovered Linux Mint and have signed up here. I have recently found two ASUS netbooks at a very reasonable price. #1 is an eeepc-8g, the real one, running linux 1Gb RAM and 8Gb SLC-SSD (holy grail of first edition eeepc's!). #2 turns out to be an eeepc 900A "Best-Buy" edition, 4Gb ...
