Ultralite Linux Distro?

Dear nurds,

Asus will (maybe even soon) release a 200 dollar laptop. The front end is a custom Linux page akin to Microsoft Bob. Made for retards and children. It makes web pages go, and some light office apps, and THATS IT.

The OS is teensy because the whole damn thing runs off of a flash drive, and between those two factors its pretty much instant-on.

For those of you familiar with it, is there a turnkey linux distro that has a grandma-friendly front end for getting a cheap old box into the hands of some retardeds?

try vista

lol, you said turnkey

JIVE TURNKEY

Any link info to that 200 dollar laptop?

Oddly, you can find info anywhere BUT asus (unless you want to sit through some bullshit, useless flash anim)

Your best bets will be either DSL or Xubuntu.
DSL's probably not as "granny friendly" as Xubuntu, but it is very very light on system resources.

If you can find a decent USB key, use a LiveCD, or have enough room on its flash drive, i'd look into Xubuntu, which is perfect for low spec machines due to its simplicity and Xfce environment. I have an old Vaio Laptop with 128MB of PC66 RAM in it... and it runs Xubuntu fine.

But as i don't know much about this laptop, i'm obviously unaware if it would be able to run it... The specs page is less than helpful...

AWESOME, thanks. I found DSL already, but Xubuntu sounds like exactly what I want.

The distro-search and cheap laptop are actually both being considered for a 10-yr-old who's only computer interests are shitty flash games and jewtube. And fucking RuneScape.

Providing him with something that won't stop my heart if he drops it AND makes him the envy of his 1337 little pals is the plan.

Aarav. Twinkle knows her every wish is my command. Whatever she desires, be it diamonds http://www.portdress.net/  cheap prom dresses under 100 , a car or a villa; she has to ask and it will be hers http://www.portdress.net/  formal short dresses . But the beauty of the whole thing is, that in the decade gone by, I have realised that what my wife really craves for, is my time. She has made me promise that I will always spend quality time with her and  Aarav."  <br> So the Kumars have a set routine. Every weekend is a do-not-disturb affair.
