K is for Kuki and it might be good enough for your Aspire One

Aspire One users like me have other choices aside from the default Linpus Lite and Windows XP options. There’s Ubuntu UMPC, probably other lightweight distros such as Puppy Linux, as well as Kuki.
Kuki is also based on Ubuntu but it boasts of tweaks that are specific to the hardware of your Aspire One. The Kuki team’s objectives are as follows:
- For Kuki to be an out of the box working system
- For Kuki to boot fast
- Have a low usage on SSD/HDD
- Include lightweight and fully working programs for common daily tasks
It uses the combination of Openbox and LXDE so the graphical user interface is comparatively lightweight. LXDE is comfortable to use as I’ve posted before. And for those who like Openbox as a window manager, it seems like a good option for the Aspire One as I am using it myself. As pointed out by It Runs On Linux, you could install the Kuki Linux kernel on top of the Ubuntu installation so you could get the patches and fixes instead of installing it completely.
