On a recommendation, I’m putting CrunchBang Linux on my mini-9. CrunchBang is a stylishly geeky distro, and the instructions linked here worked as far as getting the iso to boot from usb stick on the mini-9, but now the installation is stuck at “Resizing partition… 50%”. Ahh, Linux.
Update: it psyched me out and jumped to 100% at the last minute.
For more juicy tips, see this CrunchBang mini-9 howto. The Firefox tips there are genius, I had no idea you could drag everything into one toolbar to get the max amount of screen real estate! Changing default font sizes in many places is also important, just bump them down a notch or two.
Remember that to get the mini to suspend when the lid is closed, tweak the power management settings.
Here’s my the system portion of my .conkyrc file:
SYSTEM INFO:
