Should I switch back to Linux? What distro should I go for?

June 23, 2009 By Ade Magnaye

So I’ve been using Windows XP on my ancient Eee 701 for almost a year now. I’ve had no complaints with it. Well, not until lately. Somehow Firefox has been crashing on me so much that it’ll be a miracle to surf the web without my favorite browser crashing on me within an hour. I tried to use Chrome, but somehow it gave my beloved Eee a bout of BSODs that disappeared after I uninstalled it. Frankly, I’m getting fed up with all the software crashes I’ve been getting here.

It’s gotten so bad that I’m planning to switch back to Linux after months of convincing myself that Windows XP is the way. Now the question is: what distro should I use? I’ve been hearing good things about CrunchEee, but I want to make sure I’m getting the best Eee-made distro out there.

What do you guys think? Help me out here, and recommend a great Linux distro for me.
