Too slow to keep running Linux off a flash drive; too little HD space to comfortably double-boot (the netbook has a smaller solid-state drive rather than a larger traditional spinny hard drive); so I have jumped into Linux Mint with both feet.

I am quite content thus far. I may not yet see the dozen reasons it's superior to Windows, but the installation process was completely painless and all the hardware works right out of the box.
