Some time ago I bought the HP t5720 Thin Client terminal to run as server for my stuff. It has an AMD Geode NX 1500 (x86, 1000 MHz) / 512 MB ​​RAM / 6 USB ports / audio IO / VGA on board, and most importantly, it is completely silent. 512MB of manufacturer ATA flash memory allows only to place Windows XP Embedded or truncated Debian. Therefore, I installed Linux distribution on a cheap 4GB pendrive.

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!
