Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix

Date: 8 May 2009 Comments: Comments

Yesterday May 7th 2009 I installed Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope netbook remix, It was a very simple install used a 4gb USB flash drive to accomplish it. There is a guide on the Ubuntu website on how to setup the flash drive. It only took about 10-30 minutes probably because it was on a flash drive. But never the less it really impressed me, right when the OS started up I loved the U.I. I’m still in the noob phase with Ubuntu getting better at it day after day. It’s really easy to use especially with the built in add/remove applications utility. The user interface is the best part about the whole thing. I can say I don’t like the regular Ubuntu U.I. but the netbook remix is “A” grade. It kinda reminds me of the Boxee U.I., Boxee runs on Linux as well. All in all I most likely will not be putting OSX86 Project on my Wind. The only issues I have had is the Network utility prompting for a password every time you login, but I fixed that. The microphone didn’t really work out of the box as well had to set a couple options before that worked (http://cuthut.com/M5). I will be updating on my experience as they come a long.

    Hey Matt-- Just found your post while searching for Boxee & Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I've not tested it yet, but do you know if Boxee will run on the NB Remix OS?

  • Yes, if it works for regular Ubuntu it will work for the Netbook Remix edition
