I'm running stock ubuntu on a netbook with the same specs. It's not a
powerhouse in terms of performance, but that is only noticeable once in
a while. Regular use is just fine on it.

On my old Asus 701, I've been running Slackware. Mind, this is mainly
due to the small hard drive (it takes a little pruning to fit into 2

installation).
On your specs, it should be fine to run stock Ubuntu or Fedora.

Santa Claus left an Acer netbook under our Christmas tree (Intel

available so I plan to set up a dual boot with a Linux distro. But
which one? My first instinct is to go with Debian, which is what I
have on my desktop and I really like. But many people, in CLUG and
elsewhere, seem to favour ubuntu, especially for laptops. Any
suggestions?
