I wouldn’t use it to watch youtube videos for example, it can do it but not very well.Ī few things help.

It was never lightning fast, but towards the end under lubuntu it was essentially unusable, running slower and hotter. This system has seen xandros, windows xp, eeebuntu, bodhi and lubuntu trusty over the years.

But to squeeze out the last tiny bits of space and performance, kernel 4.15.9 has been reconfigured to remove some unnecessary modules, and compiled to target the non-SMP single core pentium M achitecture. The kernels from the antiX distro work just fine on the eee pc. Using Btrfs compression helps here and probably would on other systems with very limited storage, just remember to disable compression for /boot, or not-good things will happen. The eee pc’s 4 Gb of storage is just that little bit too small for antiX-full, but you can install base without any problem, and then shoehorn in whatever you need. A current linux kernel and gui on a 10 year old single core 32 bit netbook… Why not? Thanks antiX
