Second Life running on a fedora-powered HP Mini 1000
Dec 31st, 2008 by Ken
HP Mini 1000 is an ultraportable netbook, only 2.25lbs(1.08kg), basesd on the Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor. I just installed Second Life on HP Mini 1000 under Fedora core 10 linux, the second life client version is 1.21.6.99587(beta) which I downloaed directly from the Second Life website, and my netbook specs: 10.2″ LED Display, 1GB DDR2 Memory, Intel 950 Graphic Card, 16GB SSD Hard Drive. Fedora Core 10 was installed on a Sandisk Extreme III SDHC Card, so the default Windows XP running on 16GB SSD hard drive without partitioning.

How was the performance?
I am trying to find information of comparison of java/c++ build times on Atom and Core 2 duo. I’m recalling that Second Life was running very slowly on AMD Athlon x64 (geforce 2 or 4 mx) but runs very smooth on current core 2 duo E8200 (GeForce 8500 GT).
