I  lately noticed increased temperature of my netbook. Sensors command gives near 90°C in stress. I decided to replace manufacturer thermal pasta on CPU and clean radiator.

Cleaning CPU unit. Above: the old, hardened, thermal paste on the copper pipe heat sink.

This is CrunchBang Linux installation guide for MSI Wind U270, but some tricks may also work on another Linux distros and other devices powered by AMD E2-1800 (or similar) processor.  I chose this Linux for blazing fast performance, good essential app set and its simplicity. It starts quickly by using well-configured openBox and GRUB 1.98 <- who needs eye candy bootloader anyway? After start it uses less than 200MB RAM (Ubuntu eats over 500MB, Windows 7 about 1GB)! I recommend #! especially for netbook power users. IMHO CrunchBang is the best Linux distribution for MSI Wind U270 (I tryied  Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Arch Linux).

Let’s get started then!
