I just installed Links and Links2. It does seem a little crazy as I like them in purely CLI but in Android feels like running a GUI to run a CLI to run a GUI?! LOL Still lighter than Icecat or it's default browser tho...
VirtualBox! (tho not an OS; it allows me to NOT ... Winblows)
VirtualBox allows me to sample (play with = just boot iso 'single' & look around )
MANY different distros, on my poor ol' XP netbook (& learn, esp from boot problems ).
I don't vote Win cuz I don't do anything with it (except Firefox & virt hwd for Linux).
Also, I don't mess with Win cuz I have no way to fix/re-install it, IF I break it!
I also have a Tosh WT7, 7" 1G ram (VBox only allows <halfG) but only 1G free disk space! (till I get a $5 SD)
The 7" touchscreen makes it mostly useless tho, except for trying 64bit VT-x (missing in ol' netbook)
