Hi

As per the title I'm after something smaller. Web browsing, streaming podcasts & watching iplayer is all it gets used it for.

I had EEEubuntu on there from Jan 2008 but soon reached the point where any more updates would have filled the little 4GB SSD completely. With only 35mb of space left I stopped bothering to update, this carried on for 3 years until I began getting problems.

So I formatted & installed Ubuntu 11.10, which already leaves me with only 95mb free space & I don't have space for any updates.

What I'm after is something with a very small footprint on the SSD but still contains all the drivers needed for this little antique to work with minimum messing around as I am not very good with Linux at all.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

PS I have a 8GB SD card for storage.
