I haven't used Mint, but isn't Mint meant more for ordinary PCs rather than mini-laptops?

All I can comment on is that easypeasy hasn't crashed or failed at all so far. It even runs websites much better, for example Facebook chat works on Easypeasy but it didn't on Linpus (the Linux Aspire ships with Linpus).

Based on my experience so far, I would definitely recommend easypeasy to anyone who's got a cheap low-end minilaptop which they want to breathe new life into.
