downland the newest and update the OS as well ('yum update' at the command line)

probably best to download a different Linux OS IMHO http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...5/#post5047020

Unfortunately the operating system "linpus lite" on that machine is basically
garbage

linups figures that your "netbook" is an appliance , like a toaster
and you DO NOT update your toaster,tv remote, or your refrigerator

a light weight Desktop manager like xfce , using Linux mint 15 , might be a good choice to replace the operating system with

I agree, I would choose a different distribution of Linux like Mint.
