I need a Linux distro that is as stable as Debian, easy on battery life, takes up less than 700MB of ram, supports tablet PCs, and is not Ubuntu. Whats the one for me?

Not easy on battery life
Does Xubuntu provide a minimal install?
How's the battery life?
>Not easy on battery life
It's as easy on battery life as any other Linux distro. It depends on the power management utilities you install, not the distro.
If you seriously think this is something that depends on your distro, you will be sorely disappointed when you go looking for a distro that is easy on battery life.
>Does Xubuntu provide a minimal install?
Yes. Look for Ubuntu's netinstall.
>Arch
>stable
Don't listen to this retard
Well I have TLP but I still get about 50 minutes use out of it before having to charge again
Why the fuck does nobody write their own fucking os
if you meant "as stable as Debian but isn't Debian" then CentOS. there's a minimal iso on their website which i believe is around 600MiB. if you need a DE then find out what the minimal ones are, i'm no expert.
Then you'll get about 50 minutes of use out of it on any other distro too.
You can either get a new battery or configure TLP properly.

Shit because the machine is almost ten years old.
You might want to look into power management more than I did.
