Hi,
I just installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition on my Samsung N210 netbook and I must say, it's pretty damn good. Although at first it took me some time to get used to the transition between windows 7 and ubuntu, I don't regret it at all !
Nonetheless there is one small thing that I miss from win7 : it's sizing/ordering of the windows with mouse gesture.
I was wondering if anyone knows of an environment I can install so I can automatically move a window to the right/left half of the screen (by dragging the window to the edge of the screen like in win7).
Sorry if the question has already been asked, and if my English is sloppy.
Thanks,
Yoel
