I found almost all my hardware worked with no additional tweaking needed, which is great for a Linux noob like me. It also seems to run nice and fast, despite it having a little more eye candy compared to things like crunchbang.
I did quite like the conky keyboard shortcuts on crunchbang tho, tho I'm sure I may be able to set up ubuntu 9 UNR in a similar way.

Yeah UNR is horribly simple. It was almost... boring! With nothing to fix! It's ok, i made mine dual boot with XP and now there's plenty of problems to work on 
How was Crunchbang mike? How much work did it take to get it up and running on the ZG5? We have the same netbook you see and i like the look of crunchbang, but if it's going to be a proper mission i wont bother.

Crunchbang is good, the Wifi didn't work straight away but after I turned it on and off again it sprang into life.Yeah UNR is horribly simple. It was almost... boring! With nothing to fix! It's ok, i made mine dual boot with XP and now there's plenty of problems to work on

It didn't take that long really, apart from adding a new kernel then running the update thingy I didn't really do much more setting up than that.
One thing I have found with UNR is that it makes youtube vids choppy, I think I may have installed the wrong flash plugin for firefox.

Give Opera a try...

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Yeah, i found firefox and flash were a crap combination, had to install flash block to view most websites and it was still choppy.
Opera solved my problem nicely
