General TC > Tiny Core Netbooks
Suggestions for purchasing a Netbook?
Pseudoman:
I'm planning to purchase a netbook, set it up with Tinycore and do some light computing: mostly word-processing for school, but more than that would be a plus. Games are fun... All for under $300, $250 being my target price.
Some I have seen:
* Toshiba Mini NB505
* HP Mini 110
* Asus EEEPC 1015PE
Really, I would like to know which is most compatible with GNU/Linux and if it can do some light emulation stuff (DOSBox, Stella, etc.).
Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Are you aware that TC is not at all GNU/Linux?
(Of course it could more or less become GNU/Linux by adding extensions.)

I bought my wife the ASUS Eee PC 1001PX-EU27-WT, and we both love it. She mainly uses the native Windows 7, but I set it up to dual boot several Linux operating systems--principally TC 3.5. It runs very nicely.
Here is a link to Amazon's page on this nifty little netbook:

Yeah, I know that it doesn't have all of the GNU tools, I guess that I should have been more specific ;). What I meant was hardware compatibility with the Linux kernel modules and what not.
Anyhow, I'm considering that Toshiba Mini, any thoughts anybody?
Guy:
You could install Tinycore on a usb drive, and if they don't mind at the shop, boot it from the usb drive, to see if it just boots with no special setup required.
