So I thought I'd try Ubuntu 12.10. Nothing but problems and kept crashing. So I installed Mint KDE 13. I like the KDE interface, but again it kept crashing and was so slow,so back to Mint XFCE.

I guess, your netbook is more powerful and modern than mine. So, I think it answers your first question. <br /><br />Ubuntu is now a bit heavy and won't run well on anything less than a dual core laptop or PC. <br /><br />I agree, even for me the Arindam Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081209827341326458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-56862042434478650142013-03-17T00:19:48.839-07:002013-03-17T00:19:48.839-07:00Hi Pratyush,

Mint has all drivers inbuilt and perhaps the best in recognizing hardware like wifi, sound, touchpad, etc. without any manual intervention. It just works! And is the best that Linux has to offer, arguably!<br /><br />2.
