Re: Poor batterly life
for the little info given. To help with the power settings: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Optimized_power_settings You may need to read it all first, then adapt to you distro and hardware.

Re: Linux Mint 17 Distro for Netbook?
I'm using Linux Mint 17.1 KDE on mine [see below] probably runs about the same as what you got. but 17.1 Mate would be lighter on your system.
If they have xfce it would be best.

Re: linux mint slower that xp in the same computer
Yes, I'm running all the eye candy, an audiobook in Amarok and Chromium. Was cleaning up some snapshots with GIMP, today, so there is probably some bleed from running it also.

Re: What OS Is best for me?
It's all according to what your going to do with the computer, both will work, But I would suggest 32bit with 2gbs of ram. I would suggest around 4gbs for 64bit, for 64bit make a bigger ram footprint.Smilodon wrote:Thanks, but which should I install with only 2gb of ram? 64bit or 32? Thanks again.
