"Ways to improve your new netbook"

Hey guys, a while back, i found an article SOMEWHERE (no idea where I found it), that said something along the lines of "10 things you should do to your netbook".. does anybody know where I can find that, or make a thread about it? I don't know all 10 things, or even if there were 10 items, but I know it was stuff like:
1- uninstall bloatware (a list of all programs that CAN be deleted and/or replaced with lighter-weight programs that do the same thing, ie, antivirus)
2- upgrade RAM (self explanatory)
3- dual boot linux
4- turn your netbook into an e-book reader
5- overclock your netbook (for advanced users maybe?)

OK, that's only 5 things, and I know there are how-to's for each one, but what I'm looking for is a list of things that almost any netbook user should do with a new system, to improve speed, harddrive space, and just overall enjoyment of using a netbook.

 

Hi there

Is this http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/09/05/ten_aspire_one_tips/ the article you meant - a great read.

I've also kept of a blog of the hints and tips that I've found http://netbook-experience.blogspot.com/ my next project is to replace linux with Windows XP - I've just not had the time for a couple of weeks.

How bought some ways with XP as your op?

 

Hey me.. oh wait, am I talking to myself again? ok that was lame...

anyway, I suppose that was what I found a while back. it WAS in the very first days of the A1, I think the same time frams as the Eeepc "surf" that only had a 4 GB hard drive, and the everex cloudbook... I guess its been so long, that I was thinking the site had a different layout, but I do remember the different things they talked about. maybe this is my opportunity to contribute to the cause (whatever cause that may be...) since I haven't found a windows version of this list, maybe I can make one and post it somewhere! granted, pretty much everything has already been done, but if I could gather a list of some of the easier tips and tricks, hacks, and whatever, maybe someone out there who was originally afraid of computers might say "hey, I could do that", and get them addicted to the idea of netbooks like I am... although, its not really an addiction, its a lack of need for anything else. 90% of my laptop use is surfing the internet, playing low graphic, "time killer" games, general tweaking and tinkering, and typing a sort of journal of personal thoughts and self ramblings... such as...

"Today, I was eating a can of alphabet soup, and got a very scary message in my spoon. It said "OOOooooOOoOoOo", and that's when I realized I was eating spaghetti-O's...."
