Ubuntu version 9.04
This is now available (System, Administration, Update Manager ) and the upgrade went smoothly for me, though took some time.
Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR)
This is a new version of Ubuntu designed especially for netbook small screens. You can download it and put it on a bootable USB stick to install (or try out without installing) or simply install it from Terminal by typing:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix
My experiments with UNR were a disaster. It just caused chaos with graphics doing most peculiar things and generally made using Ubuntu impossible. So I tried to uninstall it with:
sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-netbook-remix
but this, whilst it claimed to have done so, didn't, and I was left with an unusable system. I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch, so my conclusion at the moment is that UNR just doesn't work on the Samsung NC10. Please tell me if you know otherwise!
