I use Arch linux, and have mint on netbook. Mint with its cinnamon seems a LOT more adequate than this unity thing (Yes, i don't like unity).
By the way, ubuntu is not debian squeeze anymore. It has too many canonical patches and edits. For some weird bug, whenever i try ubuntu, the only way to install video driver(nvidia) is the .run file from website. if i use built in tool to install driver, ubuntu just fails to start. My personal experience with ubuntu after 8.10 is awful, too much BS happened.
