Im looking for OS that works well on Netbooks. I plan to get a Netbook purley for Word Proccessing, Internet (youtube, facebook, forums), 720P MKV HD videos, Webcam chat and maybe some very light gaming (Unreal Tournament, Quake 3 arena).

As it stands Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 looks like an obvious choise because of its name but can anyone suggest any others?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
 
Thanks Rainmake, wasn;t expecting a reply so quick lol Cool I'l have a look at some youtube vids, does it have good power management? Also can you recommend a decent netbook for around £200 that will cover all my needs
 
I got an MSI Wind U100 Plus, its really nice and the battery lasts for around 4 hours on constant use. It came with WinXP. I can play the first Unreal Tournement maxed out, and some other old school games. Because of this im tempted to stick with XP, or can some of these Ubuntu variations play XP games aswell?
 
I coud use Wine in Ubuntu to play some XP games couldn't I, I never got this for gaming but the fact that it runs some old school games is kinda nice
 
Can I install Windows 7 on more than one computer, I have it for my gaming rig and want to install it on my Wind too using the same key
