Hey all,
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I have looked in the search and can't find it.
I am getting an MSI Wind this week (hopefully tomorrow or Tues) and I am going to be looking at getting rid of the XP home that is on it and load Ubuntu on it (or some variety) and I have come across the Ubuntu Remix.
Has anyone loaded this on and is willing to give a run down on its pros and cons, also, I was reading the brief on it from Canonical and it states that it needs a bit of coding to be done with it, now I am not shy at running code, but how much is it going to take to get it running, is it just a cut down version of Ubuntu Vanilla but for the screen res of 1028x600 I don't want it to be a dumbed down version either, like the Aspire One linspire verion with the big icons and nothing else...
Also what is wireless like with the remix version is it as easy as what Hardy is?
Should I just run Hardy or should I go with the remix verison?
Any thoughts or ideas or should I stear clear of Ubuntu on the netbook at the moment.
BTW I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on my desktop now, so I am not 'new' to Ubuntu or linux and slowly getting my head around it.
No I am not going to run a poll either, I think they are a waste of time and comments are more fruitful...
Thanks for your help in advance.
