Hi all

I run 9.10 on my MSI Wind, and it's great. My girlfriend bought a Dell Mini 10v the other day (running 8.04 NBR) and the NBR interface is beautiful, a lot nicer than the Canonical NBR interface.

Does anyone know if the packages for the Dell version of NBR are available anywhere? I'd quite like to install them on my 9.10.

:)

I can't remember which interface you're talking about; Dell have had various different Ubuntu interfaces at various times.

There was one that came with a "dock" that was gods damn awful....

I thought the 10vs were sold with Ubuntu Moblin edition, not NBR?

Not in the UK - here they still come with 8.04 LTS NBR. The interface I'm thinking of is this one:

It's really smooth and classy - much better than the Canonical effort.
