Just thought I would pop in and say that I have just Wubi-installed UNR on my NC10, and am blown away by it's simplicity and ease of use :) So far it seems wonderfully designed for the netbook environment, I had MSN up in no time, the wireless works flawlessly, and firefox is fine. The only very slight downside is that the power management doesn't seem quite as good as XP, but that is outweighed by the 'niceness' of the rest. I am seriously considering completely wiping XP and going with UNR full-on

Anyone have any tips, or essential apps to grab from the repository? Or experiences to share, especially with the NC10 in particular with Linux/UNR/alternatives?
 
Battery life has taken a bit of a hit on the NC10, still enough for an evening sitting on the sofa chatting on MSN whilst watching TV though so I can live with that potentially.

Anyone know if any of the 'dongles' for 3g connectivity that you can get from the phone providers work under UNR, or indeer any other Ubuntu flavour?
 
Anyone tried eeebuntu? Looks a bit nicer than UNR to me and has power saving functions built in - there's a package you can get to change the CPU frequency etc, you could probably install on UNR no probs too.

Do you know the name of the cpu freq controlling package? and is it in the standard repository?
