i'm impressed Mat, glad my initial post inspired you... I like you am a massive fan of my picturebook... it took me a while to source one and was very pleased when I finally got one. TBH tho, the speed is letting me down :( It would be with massive reluctance to put it on eBay but as i'm not as skilled as you with Linux I feel like I might have too..... Decisions, Decisions..... :D hope someone from Apple is reading this thread......

Wish I could Mat, my knowledge of Unix systems is slim to none really....... Still, time is on my side so i'll look into it.... I installed Debian on the weekend and too be honest didn't really see much of a performance difference to the previous XP install... a slimline OS with specific kernel could be what I need before I put my picturebook on eBay.

brilliant, thanks for your help Moonlit... very much appreciated.

not used Debian before, but thanks for the recommendation. Which version suits the Crusoe Transmeta processor best out of the list Debian offer? Alpha AMD64 ARM EABI ARM HP PA-RISC Intel x86 Intel IA-64 MIPS (big endian) MIPS (little endian) PowerPC IBM S/390 SPARC

I have an old but faithful PCG-C1VN VAIO that is really starting to show it's age :( Can anyone suggest what version of Linux would be a good replacement OS to install onto it for it to run more efficiently replacing the current XP install for just general web based use? Cheers :)
