[Novalug] Fav Netbook OS

[Roger W. Broseus]

I'm using Ubuntu Remix on my Asus Eee PC and am satisfied. The interface 
is "optimized" for the smaller screen and that helps even tho I have to 
get used to yet another approach to menus.

Made a bootable thumb drive 'cause there's no optical drive in my Eee PC 
- used Unetbootin to accomplish that after downloading an ISO.

One problem: after a few months, the key mapping became messed-up: after 
booting and getting past the password screen, when I pressed letter keys 
(like j-k-l-;) I would get numbers! I could even issued commands from 
the terminal / command line. Not finding a solution easily, I finally 
resorted to doing a re-install.

I am really surprised at the battery life in the Asus Eee: it is great.
