PaulU Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I've an old Atom based NetBook that I'm reprovisioning to use as a BTSYnc 'hub' for home use. I proven the concept by installing Ubuntu 15.10 in a partition alongside the existing Windows XP, but it's quite a heavyweight OS for what I'm doing here. Can anyone suggest the most lightweight linux that I might provision in order to run BTSync ? I'd also like to occupy the entire disk, wiping out XP once & for all. I'm not the most technically capable individual, tending to Google myself each step of the way. Hence, please don't presuppose a high level of competence on my part ! Thanks all.

RomanZ Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 @PaulU Lubuntu or Xubuntu. The first one is designed to be lightweight and run on low-profile computes. Xubuntu is also very lightweight distro. We tried Xubuntu in our Lab - Sync works just fine. Also, these OS are Ubuntu-based so they are really simple to install and manage and require minimal Linux skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulU Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks RomanZ - I'll format up a couple of USBs & give each a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
