FWIW, my netbook switched to Fuduntu (<a href="http://fuduntu.org">fuduntu.org</a>) some time ago and it seems like a really good fit, especially if you prefer GNOME 2.<br><br>My workstations are still Fedora, and I'm awkwardly trying to learn KDE because I can't stomach GNOME 3. But Fuduntu seems to be designed with a mind toward the netbook.<br>

I am a bit stubborn and am working within the Gnome 3 model. At some<br>
point I am going to have to work with Win8 either on the family machines<br>

Jerry Pournelle (<a href="http://www.jerrypournelle.com" target="_blank">http://www.jerrypournelle.com</a><u></u>) reports that Windows 8 appears designed to take advantage of "hardware you don't have yet." He suggests that most people stick with Windows 7 for the time being if they have the choice.<br>

I don't expect to be using Win8, let alone Win7 for a year or so. Gives me more time to get really comfortable with the Tablet-style GUI. Been at it for about a year now.<div class="im"><br>

I knew Pournelle back in the 70s; never really got to trust him. But he often does get some things right. :)<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
