Postby hatalar205 » Thu May 12, 2011 18:06

Hi, all.
I have a Toshiba NB200 netbook. I want to install Sabayon but I'm not sure if my netbook is powerful enough to run. And, which Sabayon version I mean KDE or GNOME is more suitable for my netbook?
Thanks in advance.

Netbook Spesifications:
Graphics hardware: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Amt of RAM: 1GB
RAM type: DDR2 SDRAM
Processor type: Intel Atom
Processor speed: 1.66 GHz

Sabayon should work on this laptop.
linux works fine on atom n270,
video and audio is standard
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Tos ... 902.0.html

And is powerful ,
I did Install linux on Samusng n150, was't that powerfull (slow multitasking) but faster then windows starter.

Try Sabayon with Gnome, more easy.
Gnome should be lighter than KDE, but the main factor is GPU driver setting. :roll:

If your version of the Toshiba NB200 has the Atom N270 CPU then you'll need to install an x86 (32-bit) edition of SL, as that model of Atom CPU does not support 64-bits.

If you find the GNOME edition a bit sluggish, give the Xfce, LXDE or E17 editions a try. See the thread amd64, x86_64, x86, K, G, Core etc. - What do they all mean? for details.
