How does Ubuntu do it?

,----[ Quote ]
| Iâm again stuck with a full-blown Ubuntu 
| desktop, full of goodies I donât need and 
| running much slower than I could make it 
| run. But hereâs the maddening part, it 
| works. Right-click folder, share, 
| adjusting smb.conf, done. Even worse, I 
| canât find any reference to my share in 
| smb.conf ! If I knew where the right 
| config is saved, I could simply copy/paste 
| it to a leaner system, but now I canât.
| 
| Curse you Ubuntu! Curse you for making my 
| life so easy and so difficult at the same 
| time!

Ubuntu Netbook Edition (Remix) not just for netbooks?

,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu Netbook Edition (formally netbook 
| remix) is a collection of applications 
| that make Ubuntu more usable on smaller 
| screens. But you don't have to be running 
| a netbook to benefit. This article looks 
| at how to use the best netbook remix 
| features in a standard Ubuntu 10.04 install.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx (Netbook Edition)

,----[ Quote ]
| For the last couple of Ubuntu releases Iâve
| been running the full desktop edition on my
| netbook (Acer Aspire 1).  These have run
| fairly well, and Iâve even had Compiz
| configured to run the cube and other eye-
| candy such as wobbly windows â although this
| may in part be due to its slightly upgraded
| spec (1.5gb ram). However despite swapping
| Firefox for Google Chrome there were some
| aspects that were disappointingly slow, this
| was regardless of the processor-hungry
| features that I had running.  As a result I
| decided to give the Ubuntu Netbook Edition
| a try.
|
| [...]
|
| The other advantage of upgrading to 10.04
| is that this version has long term support
| (LTS).  Which means that Ubuntu will
| provide security updates for 3 years, as
| opposed to 18 months for standard releases.

Kubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 review

,----[ Quote ]
| The installation is dead simple, just like
| Ubuntu. If you have installed any Linux OS
| lately, you should not have any problem
| installing Kubuntu Netbook Edition. I
| installed it using UnetBootin which allows
| one to make a bootable USB drive.
|
| Out of the box, everything worked, from
| Ethernet to Wireless LAN â everything!
| This is great as most of the netbook users
| do not like wandering over Ubuntu/Kubuntu
| forums trying everything to work. Even the
| function keys worked.

Ubuntu Linux Netbook Edition 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)

,----[ Quote ]
| Iâve been reviewing various Ubuntu
| derivatives and this week I thought it
| would be fun to take a look at the netbook
| version of Ubuntu.
|
| Ubuntu Netbook Edition used to be called
| Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but Canonical
| changed the name once this distro became
| an official edition of Ubuntu.
|
| [...]
|
| Summary:      Ubuntu Netbook Edition takes most
| of whatâs great about the desktop version
| and wraps it up in a colorful, attractive
| netbook interface.
| Rating:       4/5
