Yea, it's big enough for what I have in mind for it. If I need more space, I can upgrade the SSD a bit, or use a thumb drive. This thing kinda looks like it's one of the early versions of the HP Mini. It has an undocumented(at least in the documents I've come across: I had to find out through a forum lol) USB port that sits way into it rather than flush with the surface like most. I picked up a real skinny 64gb thumb drive that slides all the way into it and is recognized. It's almost as if it's not there from the outside(sticks out maybe 1/16 of an inch?), so there isn't much to catch on something when moving it or walking past. I don't pretend to be a professional coder, and the webpages I work on are not real big. Nor is it like I have a huge amount of time to play with them right now anyway, though that could change soon. If I can use it to tinker on a couple of small PHP/MySQL scripts for now, I think that could be called good.

Well, just a thought, I
run slackware, so 14.1 just came out which is great for
everybody.. Anyway, its always been, and it still is, 16
gigs is enough with space left over to setup a web dev or
any most dev environment..
So here's my df, on my netbook, which has 60
gig ssd.
~$ df -hFilesystem Size Used
Avail Use% Mounted on/dev/sda2 547M
270M 238M 54% /
/dev/sda3 2.4G 758M 1.5G 34%
/var/dev/sda5 24G 6.7G 16G 30%
/usr/dev/sda6 27G 12G 14G 46%
/hometmpfs 490M 976K 489M
1% /dev/shm
Its a used system, so I'm done putting stuff
on it, and var is already been tested, meaning, it can fill
up for maybe some databases or big compiles of other peoples
stuff, but I just throw it up on a NAS or on another usb
drive. If you look only using around 7728 megs for the
entire system.... all non static files included.

Thank you to those who responded pointing me at some
potentials. I have downloaded a couple distros that look
promising and hope to do some playing in the coming weeks.
What it is, is I have come into posession of a couple
netbooks, one of which I'm kinda hoping to set up as a
mobile dev bed. It's only got a 16gb SSD to work with,
and 2gb RAM, so it needs to be a lite footprint deal, but I
would like to be able to take it and a laptop places when I
expect to be waiting a bit, and be able to open both up and
code web pages. I'm Trying to learn some lol.
Thanks again!

The Turnkey distros are reasonably quick and easy to set

Subject: [aklug] live cd webserver?
I have used FreeNAS in the past, a CD you boot from which
turns a box into
an almost instant fileserver. I was wondering if there
was
something similar
for webservers, preferably with PHP and MySQL? Or barring
that, perhaps a
distro that is geared towards setting up a webserver real
fast, with PHP and
MySQL, that also has a quick admin GUI that does not need
to
run something
as heavy as Gnome or KDE? Anybody run across anything of
that nature?
Thanks
Kurt
