Peppermint is a nice, stable, and lightweight Linux distribution that is based on Ubuntu. It runs smooth even on older hardware. The company is based in North Carolina and has done a good job of ballancing functionality with a small footprint. It is one I recommend if you want to run Linux on an older computer.

I've got a 15 year old paperweight (Dell laptop) taking up space? Perhaps it's time for an experiment? :)

What a fabulous idea - I have an 8 year old Dell paperweight that I was using for gaming until it didn't make sense to upgrade it one last time. Thanks!

PO1 John Miller - Once you go flash drive for an install, you will never go back. It is almost twice as fast as using a DVD. Just have to make sure your bios supports booting from a USB drive.

SSgt Mark Lines - I do the same. That's actually the reason I chose that linux project.

SGT (Join to see) I tried it on a live session on my laptop. I do not know how it would work out on an EEE. It uses XFCE as its default DE.
