Is anybody using Racket on a netbook running Windows 7 Starter?</blockquote><div><br>Yes, I have DrRacket on my netbook with Windows 7.<br>It's a HP Mini with an Atom processor, I think 1.6GHz, only 1GB of RAM, 1024x600 10" screen.<br>

Of course for more complex programs/computations you'll want something more powerful, but to go through the Racket teaching materials that hardware is enough.<br>
<br>It also works OK on Linux (I have dual boot on the netbook).<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">I'm trying to figure out how much I need to spend on a machine for my son to use Racket on...<br>
