Hi,
Can I install Kali Linux on Netbook with Intel Atom?
Netbook: HP Mini 210-3000sw (N570) or 210-1100ew (N455)
or Intel? Atom? N280, FSB 667 MHz 1,66 GHz
Parameters:
2 cores
around 200 gb disc hdd
2 gb ram
Graphics Card Intel GMA X3100 or 950
I would like to have a small laptop with kali.
Can I use full kali on this parameters?
I'd recommend trying with XFCE on a thumbdrive (Live) to see how it works. It will probably be fairly slow.
Probly the 32bit version i have small atom it 32bitQuote:

If you want to use the system for ANYTHING usefully intensive, definitely go 32 bit.Quote:

Kali does bring a certain zip factor to using old hardware, I'll say that much for it, but don't expect miracles.
I saw a better laptop offer with this parameters:
Processor: Intel N2940 4 cores x 1.83 - 2.16Ghz
RAM memory: 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Bluetooth 4.0
WIFI: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
What should I pay attention to when choosing a laptop for kali?
I would like the laptop to work smoothly.
There are a few threads about that specific question.
I wouldn't use an atom CPU for anything except a router.
