Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 on my Dell Mini 10V
Wednesday, 9 December 2009
I have belatedly installed the upgrade to the first release of Ubuntu NBR on my Dell Mini 10V and it is a major hit. It is more attractive, a bit like the way a Mac is more attractive than a PC. It installed the new Google Chrome beta with a single click of the .deb file just like Windows does with an .msi file (I am writing this in Chrome on my 10V). It is faster to connect the wifi. I can browse my NAS through the file explorer. It has a super high WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). I cannot find fault with it. It is as competent as Windows in every department with all the advantages of Linux, reliability, speed, compactness, cost.

Hey Asad, you have bought the license now. I recommend NBR for a cheap netbook not for a mainstream laptop. Thanks for the comment.
I hackintoshed my Dell mini 9 :D
The way I see the Windows product that came on my MSi Wind, it's a dual boot option with Ubuntu NBR. Once NBR is installed, every application you ever needed or wanted comes with Ubuntu. As nice as Windows XP SP3, Vista or even 7 are, IMHO, they simply can't compete with Ubuntu NBR. Same holds for even being able to hack OS X onto a PC. The OS & applications in Linux, you'd spend several hundred, even thousands more to be licensed properly, Netbook or Notebook !

I've just installed windows 7 on my laptop and have been impressed! like a lightweight version of vista...
But reading your blog has got me intrigued... might need to give this Ubuntu version a trial!
