[ale] Ubuntu Netbook Remix

[Richard Faulkner]

I tried NR on my Acer netbook and wasn't moved at all.  Don't like the
interface and it is 
as slow as molasses on a cold winter day in the arctic.  Also couldn't
get the proper 
aspect ratio out-of-it.  Haven't returned to it since...been meaning to
try Fedora on it...

Cheers!    --Rich in Lilburn

I've used the Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an HP Mini and I didn't like it.
I ended up using the default Ubuntu Gnome. I made the bottom panel
very thin and set it to auto hide. I left the top panel visible
though. What I really didn't like about UNR was having to go back to
the main desktop to see the apps. It really felt like I could only run
one app at a time. I know I was running more but it just felt that
way. You should give it a try and see what you think but I'd say most
people on this list will probably feel limited by it.
