What would be the best OS for ASUS EEEPC?

hi there!

i just bought my asus eeepc. it has 4g internal flash memory and 512 ram. i am planning to change its OS and now im confused of what would be the best OS for it...that would not around eat 75% of its internal memory.



it is xp compatible and my personal choice was XP. how much memory would XP need?or the other OS?What would be the best OS for ASUS EEEPC?
it can run xp. i have seen one that does. xp uses about 1.5gb. Vista will not fit in there. the only problem is if you install xp, you have to install an anti virus software. why not try linux based Xubuntu? its very light on the system, runs blazingly fast, its free, upgradeable, customizable %26amp; you don't need any anti virus for it. in my own laptop, i have xp %26amp; xubuntu on my 80gb hard drive. i only allocate 5gb for Xubuntu %26amp; its more than enough for this wonderful OS. Xubuntu is based on the awrd winning OS Ubuntu. it uses Xfce instead of Ubuntu's Gnome desktop. That makes it very light %26amp; fast even on old systems. it requires only 128mb to run but you need to have a bout 200mb to install from live CD. If you want something thats a lot smaller, you can try puppy linux. its small enough to fit in a 256Usb flash drive. its great too. I have one too but i didn't install it in my machine. i just let it run from a flash drive or cd.What would be the best OS for ASUS EEEPC?
Go with XP PRO SP2...this is the fastest Windows OS %26amp; two times faster than Vista Ultimate.



Vista eats tons of resources and memory %26amp; even tweaked pales in comparison when it comes to speeds...
