| One option is Presto, a version of Xandros Linux. Presto should work with
| most systems (we got it working easily both on a newly purchased new MSI
| Wind netbook and a five-year-old Dell Inspiron notebook). As important, it
| includes drivers for a number of common Wi-Fi chipsets from Atheros,
| Broadcom, Intel, and Ralink.
|
| When installed, Presto sets up your system to dual-boot with Windows, but
| it doesn't require partitioning the hard drive to do so. When you run it
| you'll find a simple desktop interface with connectivity utilities like
| Firefox for Web browsing, Pidgin for instant messaging, and Skype for VoIP,
| and you can download a wide range of other applications as well. Presto
| will import Firefox bookmarks from your Windows profile, as well as let you
| open and edit Microsoft Office files stored on the system. (The
| OpenOffice.org suite is included.)

| It has been developed by Xandros, which developed the basic software used to
| start up the Asus Eee mini PC quickly. But Xandros hasn't conjured up
| something completely new with Presto.
