I dont know about digiKam but I tried few days ago F-spot on Acer Aspire One
(With Linpus distribution, 512MB, 8GB SSD) and it was very slow. I bet
reason was simple the Mono, because all other applications run very fast and
snappy. I tought then I would test digiKam on it but I didn't have time
then. Mayby I will test it week or so.
But I notived that screen was littebit too small for F-spot, because it does
not preserve the space on vertical size, digiKam has different thing and it
is easy to turn ON/OFF those sidepanels so digiKam could be much better
choose for small screens.
I didn't check out about the external monitor, I had bigger 1280x1024 size
but it needs first to be configured to have right resolution, without so the
laptop will stretch the 1024x600 resolution screen to it and it will look
ugly. There is few nice modding videos too, about adding memory or so big
SSD/SATA HD as you can get size as 2.5".
If you get such laptop and set digiKam working on it, tell results for us
too ;-)
