Ubuntu Netbook Remix - Have You Seen it Lately?
,----[ Quote ]
| I loaded the Beta on my ASUS N10J, and I was
| amazed. I have not been a big fan of UNR until
| now, I found the desktop to be a bit, hmmm, I
| can't quite think of the right description -
| clunky, unrefined, very much in-your-face, I
| suppose in an attempt to make it "obvious". It
| was vastly superior to the Moblin desktop if your
| purpose with the netbook was anything other than
| "Social Networking", but I still didn't care for
| it for my own daily use. The new desktop is much
| nicer, it seems smoother and I actually find it
| much more obvious to use than the previous
| version simply because you don't have everything
| "shouting at you" from the desktop.

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.
