Linux for Atom Notebook

[Leon Goldstein]

Lonni: Win 10 on this thing, even the "light weight" version on it, is 
glacial.  That's why I asked.
2 Gb RAM should be more than adequate for a 32-bit Linux.  I have the 
64-bit SuSE 13.1 and LEAP on an old HP laptop (AMD Turion) and "free" 
shows lots of free memory, i.e. little or no swap use.
