I have been using my 10v for over 2 years now, and for most of its life it was Hackintoshed - I moved away from OSX on this machine as my main use is for browsing and OSX was getting a bit bloaty. After trying a bunch of Linux distros I settled on Crunchbang (#!). Light and VERY fast. After 8 months I am still quite happy, but it doesn't appear that there is much movement with the platform. I may clean install with another distro in the near future. So, my question is - is anyone using another linux distro (outside of Mint and Ubuntu, both of which I have tried and are quite good) they are particularly happy with? Just looking for working options. Mini 9 | 2Gb RAM | 16Gb SSD | OSX 10.6.7 | NBI 20100616212351 |

Highly recommend Fedora 15 very clean and well supported. It's not light weight by any means but the gnome 3 runs great on my 10V. if it wasn't for android development thats all i would rock unfortunately Ubuntu is the distro of choice for developing.

I am not a fan of it, but what about Chromium OS? |
