A $200 dollar netbook runs the "genuine" flavor of Ubuntu well. Actually I've found the genuine flavor of Ubuntu runs on pretty much any old hardware while the UNR is painful to use without a 3D accelerator even with graphics quality set to its lowest. The UNR seems to be more a way to provide the "maximus" possible usable screen space and to provide bigger icons that are easier to hit on those annoying touchpads than to be cut-down* -- Ubuntu is already much lighter than WIndows Vista/7. I've heard they are moving towards abiword for UNR, but you can easily install openoffice if that is what you want (or as Dmitrijs said, install ubuntu-netbook-remix on an existing Ubuntu install). * lubuntu is quite a nice cut down desktop, which also only has a single panel by default. -- John C.
