Ubuntu Netbook Remix - Short review
,----[ Quote ]
| If you have a netbook and do not care for a sub-
| optimal Windows installation and do not wish to wait
| for Moblin to come out of Beta, Ubuntu Netbook Remix
| seems like a good idea. I believe you will like the
| result. The combination of free price, lots of good
| programs, stability, usability, and decent looks are
| really hard to beat.

Group test: netbook distros
,----[ Quote ]
| Our choice: EeeXubuntu
|
| [...]
|
| Pupeee very nearly beat it to the top spot: itâs a great, small distro, with
| a lot packed into it. Unfortunately, the WEP problems meant that it just
| slipped below EeeXubuntu in the practical usability stakes. It also lacks the
| range of software that EeeXubuntu has available, even if it can cover the
| basics well. Itâs worth noting that Pupeee can easily be run from a Live USB
| key so you could combine the advantages of both distros; all you need to do
| is mount your regular home directory after youâve booted and saved files
| there. Thereâs scope for saving data between sessions in a special Pupeee
| file and it will automatically pick this file up again the next time you
| boot.
|
| Meanwhile, gOS has far and away the best eye candy of the distros tested
| here, and the online integration is great if youâre certain that youâre going
| to have decent network access. It is, however, a little slow and would need
| streamlining before weâd use it regularly.
|
| Finally, the lack of current packages for Xandros and its dependency on an
| irritating filesystem setup make it the clear loser of the four, although it
| does have an initial functionality edge over EeeXubuntu and gOS.
