the main difference is that "netbook" is lighter and designed to run on "netbook", so not the same apps inside but the same kernel means that it can do what "desktop" does.

into synaptic you can switch from ubuntu-desktop to ubuntu-netbook , then uninstall the unneeded "desktop" packages to make room.

How do I do that?
