[ale] Ubuntu Netbook Remix

[Richard Bronosky]

I just installed UNR on an ASUS EeePC for my nephew. I really like it.
I like the "most apps are full screen" feature of it. I don't know if
it is slow because of the WM or the HW, but it is a little
troublesome. But other than that I think the UX is dead on.
