<br>I was looking for netbooks recently in a shop when a russian hacker sold me his "old" thinkpad X60 12" for a low price.. (far from being a netbook in performance but close in size & weight..).<div>
I installed the latest ubuntu on it + pd extended 0.42 and now I´m thinking seriously what to do with the fucking macbook pro....</div><div><br></div><div>Really great machine.. It loads pd in one second.. (like ten times faster than the mbp).</div>
<div><br></div><div>The audio (i and o) works out of the box and the system recognizes my usb soundcard (even though it causes some confussion sometimes..)..</div><div><br></div><div>The battery lasts almost 3 hrs using pd,. I´m quite amazed by this also, because in the other computer, the battery consumption get´s multiplied by 3 at least, each time I open
pd..</div><div><br></div><div>I hope this post inspires someone in something.. </div><div><br></div><div>I know Pd runs in a netbook (with linux, of course..), but just runs, it doesn´t fly..</div><div><br></div><div>cheers</div>

Find the instructions on the net regarding which flags to use with your CPU.<br>
Then, clean up paths and startup list to load only those externals that you need.<br>(...and: don't use the f-word on the list ;o)<br>there are all kinds of people here with different sensitivity)<br></div></div><br>
