[PD] netbook recommendation

[Jose Luis Santorcuato]

Yes, netbook "run" but not "fly" i have a acer aspire one intel atom 1.6 1gb
ram, for audio no problem, GEM is slow but no far, if you charge a lot of
videos and abstractions maybe crash...
Intel graphic card is so bad for 3d... really shit, in my macbook with intel
graphic card i cant work with blender... in the netbook the same, only with
ubuntu 9.10, but is like a windows...
Netbook works fine for travels or conectivity... my opinion...

Best regards from Chile

José
