</div></div>I'm listening now to Linux Link Tech Show episode 257 [1] and around<br>
28 minutes they start raving about Ubuntu eee version - eeebuntu the<br>
special "Netbook Remix". They loved it. You can see it in action on<br>
youtube [2].<br>
<br>
What is your oppinion about it?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I think it suffers from the fundamental design of assuming that it is a good idea to near verbetum press the same OS experience into a 8.9" screen as I use on my 20,1" screen. On a netbook I want one app filling the entire screen as I use it, there shouldn't be windows to move around.. I mean why? <br>
<br>I recently had a chance to play with an eeePC and the default interface really impressed me. Clean, organised, roughly, after tasks (not like Ubuntu MID after application groups - e.g. where does email go.. internet or office?) and when I use an application my machine is dedicated to it with an easily visble way to slip back and pick a second fullscreen app.<br>
<br>I would much prefer something like Sugar on my upcoming netbook device to this approach. <br><br>That being said I believe we have a deligent volunteer porting Ubuntu MID to Fedora, and those efforts are naturally great, there will be people who like this approach and offering it with Fedora branding and love would maybe help Fedora serve those people and get us into the netbook market (more so than Acer Aspire Ones Linpus Fedora based system already does).<br>
