Netbook Linux Guide Lets You Easily Kick Windows XP To The Curb [Linux]

Sometimes I think if I see another blue sky, green grass background on a netbook I am going to throw it out the window. Maximum PC is ridding my Windows XP blues with a guide to lightweight netbook computing.

They have rounded up some of the best Linux netbook solutions, including Easy Peasy and Eeebuntu. I'm a big fan of the latter and used it for quite a bit of time on my MSI Wind U100. The nice thing about the guide is that it provides step by step instructions on how to load the new OS on along with productivity software alternatives.

Left from the roundup is Moblin 2.1. I have been testing it out for the last few days and will post my impressions soon. In the meantime, if you are also suffering from Win XP sickness try one of these penguin-friendly options or you could always check out our Hackintosh guide. [Maximum PC]
