I want to put Linux on my Fujitsu P1120 laptop but I’m not sure which distro would be best.
It’s tiny (footprint no bigger than a mousepad) and has no cd-rom drive. I have an external cdrom drive so I can install from a cd, but since it’s an external drive I don’t want to use a cd-bootable distro.
It’s an 800mhz Crusoe chip,
256 memory
30gig hd
It also has a touch-screen which others have gotten to work under linux:

This laptop is a bit pokey running XP… (things like a new browser takes a few seconds to open, drop-down menus take a second or two to drop down, etc.) …and so I’d like to install a nice, LEAN distro of linux to see if it performs better under linux.
But I don’t know which distro would be good. Surfing, reading, looking…
P.S. … and it has to be relatively easy to install since I’m a linux newbie.
