Hot-rodding an old Eee PC?

[MC Bodge]

Is there any limit to the size of SD card that can be fitted to an Asus S101 Eee PC?

Is there much real difference in speed/performance between a Sandisk and a cheaper one?

If the SD card is much bigger, is it worth replacing the 16GB SSD with a bigger one?

It's primarily to be used for web browsing. I'm thinking of installing Lubuntu or similar (with all unused software removed) -any recommendations for Eee Pc Linux?

Ps. I'm single-handedly resisting the march of tablets!
The Ipad just feels like a big Iphone(good for a phone) and I didn't like the Samsung ones I've tried.

Exactly what I was thinking either install ChromiumOS (the downloadable version of ChromeOS)or get a Chromebook.

I bought a Chromebook last year as a toy basically, its now replaced my Linux laptop as my day to day machine.

Does the Chromium OS support any software other than Chrome? Word processor and spreadsheet other than online Google ones?

Thanks. The original "HD" is an SSD.

It's just a bit of a project really, but good to try to make use of.

puppy Linux seems quite impressive for the size, but I prefer Lubuntu so far. Some tweaking of Puppy Linux and adding Chrome might make the GUI more pleasant

Lubuntu and 2GB ram are working very well
