Ubuntu Netbook Remix review

,----[ Quote ]
| Although it's based on the popular Linux 
| distro, Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) is not a 
| pruned down version of Ubuntu. Instead, its 
| developers discarded old, legacy code not 
| relevant to netbook systems. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| Ubuntu Netbook Remix has a tightly 
| integrated and speedy feel to it, and an 
| easy on the eyes design. We found UNR's 
| quick launch UI not only attractive but so 
| convenient and quick to navigate that we 
| preferred it to the usual desktop interface. 
| Even if your netbook runs Windows XP or 7, 
| you should give Ubuntu Netbook Remix a try.

Google Chrome OS benched against Moblin & Ubuntu Netbook Remix

,----[ Quote ]
| Interestingly, Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 
| came out on top, having the best battery 
| life and lowest CPU/memory usage. The 
| desktop distro OpenSUSE 11.2, was second, 
| whilst Moblin 2.1 came third. Chromium OS 
| was bottom of the pile, although considering 
| very early source code has been released 
| this is not entirely surprising.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 Shines Bright

,----[ Quote ]
| UNR represents a solid step forward for
| netbook users. It provides anyone familiar
| with Ubuntu the same basic commands and
| applications you'll find in the desktop
| addition. It also makes it a snap to sync
| your key files between your main machine
| and a second (or third) painlessly. In
| contrast, Moblin caters to the mobile user
| interested in quick access to their
| favorite applications coupled with a quick
| boot time. Both do what they do well and
| should meet the basic needs of most any
| netbook user.
