Youtube Demo YouTube - xPUD Fast Boot Demo @ TOSSUG

From: penk: xPUD 0.8.5 - a WebOS Platform

We're glad to release a development version of xPUD, the whole OS image is only 24MB, comes with faster boot time (5.09 seconds on EeePC 701), and the user interface with small screen support. xPUD now can be a great WebOS platform!

it has got just basic utilities, a web browser with gears, file browser, etc.

thanks for the info ... i guess this confused me more .... never heard of them ...

i think you should go for backtrack.it is a bit power hungry,but it definitely brought back interest for me into linux..
there is lot of different stuff you can do with it.
you can very easilt carry it around in a pd.it is only 600mbs around!

Have u tried Xubuntu on your laptop? It is designed keeping low end pcs in mind. This is done with the help of XFCE desktop environment which has a memory footprint.

Download the distribution from Get Xubuntu | Xubuntu
