Ubuntu 10.10 is out. Netbook remix FTW!
http://www.ubuntu.com/
Ubuntu 10.10 came out on 10/10/2010 (my wedding day). While I noticed some slight changes to the Desktop version, the Netbook edition is where the real changes took place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_10.10_...rick_Meerkat.29
The interface has been totaly redesigned. It acts like Mac OS X. Instead of having the file menu as a part of the window, now the file menu at the top of the screen changes with each application you open and they've removed the title bar from full-screen applications. Commonly used programs are located on the left of the screen.
10.10 also introduces a revised approach to managing a small screen. They've encorperated a button which zooms out to display multiple desktops and allows you to reposition windows, or pass them around from desktop to desktop. It also allows you to see what is opened in a more unified manner.
This is a serious step up in small-screen Netbook interface. As always, it's free and you can get at the bottom of this page: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook
For those using Microsoft Windows, you can install it from windows. It shows up under add/remove programs and on start-up you can optionally boot from Ubuntu instead of windows.
