Netbooks for LAMP Development??
Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 10:46 am
Hi all,
Just wanted to get your thoughts on using a netbook (I've heard good things about the new acers) for LAMP development. Maybe some of you have already tried it? At the moment I'm using an old HP/Compaq nx9005, with 256 ram and a 40 gig hard drive running ubuntu, and it does grid a bit. Plus it has a Japanese keyboard, with no forward slash, which makes things difficult. I have been thinking about getting a new laptop, but like the idea of a really small machine I can take anywhere.
All opinions welcome!
Thanks!
