Ubuntu netbook remix 9.04 & aspire one 110 / zg5

I rather like this.  Did a test dtive off a usb memory stick, boots quite quickly; no doubt faster from SSD...

What I liked most; it's the first distro that i've had - easily - my network printer (Samsung CLP-310), remote samba, and bluetooth working...   The amount of hassle getting those three working on linpus lite is not believable.  And yet Ubuntu NBR (beta!) works, just like that.  Off the usb stick.

I'll wait til final release (tomorrow?) before I think i'll go for it...

Impressed...

And in the end, I went for it. And it's fantastic.
Very minor issues; wifi switch & light.
Everything else, perfect (once the brown was banished)
