Hi!
Grub messed up my system and I can't re-install windows7 now - got a thread about that here, but I don't think it is going anywhere:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2132987/windows-installation-setup-unable-create-system-partition-locate-existing-system-partition.html#13246792
So now I am looking for a backup solution: Linux. I've had Ubuntu installed before, but it broke itself and I got well mad at it. I am thus looking for a distribution with NO maintenance that is able to run on old under-powered hardware (Asus Eee 1005p netbook). I only need my netbook for:
-OpenOffice
-Webbrowsing
Battery-life, ease-of-use and little/no maintenance are my priorities, I intend to use the laptop as a tool for studying (thus battery life is super-important as I am not always near a power outlet) and don't want to make it into a hobby at all. As little maintenance as possible, simplicity first. Which distro would be great at that? I got plenty of HDD space, so that isn't really a problem.
