Looking for a Lightweight OS?
I need to install something on a small netbook that's a few years old that I'll be selling to someone. It originally came with XP, but with support dropping very soon, I'd rather not install that for security reasons.
The OS has to accommodate an XP-era Atom processor with I believe 1GB of RAM. I had Puppy Linux installed on it once and that worked pretty well. JoliOS was alright.
I've tried installing Chromium OS, but it seems support for Aspire Ones' is limited.
Any help? I need a lightweight, user-friendly OS for a total computer noob.

install Crysis 3 on it and turn it up to full settings it will run perfectly.

WARNING: DO NOT listen to people who say Ubuntu. Trust me, it does not run well on older netbooks. I tried it. Lubuntu doesn't look quite as nice, but once you customize it a bit, it's not bad.

Windows 8. The best and most user friendly OS ever created.

Crunchbang would be a good choice. Debian based Linux distribution.

3 RepliesI also have an Aspire One (D250) and I am running Windows 7 just fine, although I upgraded the RAM from 1 GB to 2 GB. So I'll say Windows 7 is your ideal OS.

Puppy LInux should be good? IF not Chrominum OS? I think its pretty user-friendly despite the limited support.

WRITE YOUR OWN OS PLEB

Windows 95/98 They only use around 30 MB of RAM, if you can get a hold of a disk or a floppy disk. Or you can make a bootable USB The link I put is to help you, but you need to make a MS-DOS Virtual machine, which takes knowledge to make (And use MS-DOS, try doing some research first) Hope this helps

Linux has some lightweight distros.

You can launch Chromium off a USB. What problems are you having? That's probably the lightest OS available.
