I would certainly not consider running gentoo or freebsd and rebuilding world.

However my aspire one serves as a very chep, v small, v quiet and low power dhcp/dns/monitoring server. Add one usb2ps2 converter, and one connection to a kvm or an ssh connection, and its crapped keyboard is no longer a problem :)

I have a ~$1000 acer laptop and an acer aspire one.

The former is utter garbage, the later is really nice.

Brother has an aspire running Linux for wife.    Works well from what I
