You can - just install whatever ubuntu 10.04 you can by whatever means,
then install the ubuntu-netbook package, which will bring with it the
rest of the bits you need for the netbook interface. I've not tried it,

I assume Fat32 is a no-no, but what about NTFS, which supports POSIX
case-sensitive filenames and file permissions?
Or do I have to use a traditional Linux filesystem like ext3?

Reinstalling using the existing home folder is a fabulous idea thanks!
But you still need to back up in case of problems. And I back up
constantly anyway in case I accidentally delete files myself or am
