Taking Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix out for a Spin
,----[ Quote ]
| Even though I typically donât use GNOME,
| the way the desktop was presented in UNR
| 9.10 was actually pretty cool. Sure, it
| took some getting used to, and I probably
| have strange tastes, but I did enjoy using
| it, despite the little issues I mentioned
| above. UNR also seems like the best choice
| for any compatible Netbook, because Iâve
| tried using Windows on Netbooks and itâs
| not pretty at all.

Leeenux Review â Linux OS for Asus Eee 701
,----[ Quote ]
| There are countless Linux distros out there
| for the netbooks. Do we really need another
| one? Well, if you still use the first
| generation Eee PC or have it lying around
| as it is of no use to you, Leeenux OS can
| give a new life to it. It is tailor-made
| for those who are having trouble in getting
| all the newer Linux distros to work on it â
| Ubuntu, Ubuntu UNR, Kubuntu and so on. They
| run fine on the newer netbooks, but give
| myriad of problems on the Eee 700-series.
| Another problem is that the newer distros
| are not made with the old Eee 701 netbook
| in mind that have just 4GB of flash
| storage.

| Just like Jolicloud, it comes with few
| Prism apps that mere shortcuts to
| particular URLs. I am personally against
| the idea of using Prism apps. Why not
| simply fire-up the web-browser and then go
| to the respective URL?

Top 5 Netbook Linux Distros: 2010 Edition (with Gallery)
,----[ Quote ]
| Easy Peasy
|
| Formerly Eeebuntu, EasyPeasy is Ubuntu respin
| tailored for Asus Eee PCs. But since it didnât
| work on my EeePC, Iâll have to give it last
| place. The desktop environment is taken from
| UNR â the only difference is that the Easy-
| Peasy version isnât ugly (where ugly means
| brown). You could call it the Linux Mint of
| the netbook operating system world, because
| the default install includes some proprietary
| software such as Skype, Adobe Flash and some
| common codecs to make your life less painful.
| The project documentation is not very
| professional. On the other hand, the guides
| are simple and very useful. I liek the fact
| that they chose Banshee to be the default
| music player. Those of you who do not like
| ext4 should skip this distro, though: as of
| v1.5, EasyPeasy uses ext4 by default. Due to
| the fact that the distro is basically Ubuntu,
| you can solve all your problems using Ubuntu
| documentation. Yet, aside from the nice theme
| and some very sound software choices there is
| no real reason to choose Easy Peasy instead of
| UNR. Try both and decide by yourself.
