I'm on a Samsung Q1 Ultra with Intrepid Ubuntu-UMPC, use the touch screen a bit (especially with Ubuntu-UMPC's web browser). What will I lose if I just do Jaunty's Netbook Remix and not JauntyDesktop+IntrepidMobile you mentioned? What's in the Intrepid Mobile package that I would want to add to Jaunty Desktop (or to Jaunty Netbook Remix, for that matter)? Is there just a package for the touch screen version of the browser, that is ready for Jaunty? I haven't used (or really even SEEN) the various Netbook Remix front ends ... but 90% of what I do on my Q1U boils down to 4 programs (Terminal, one of the VNC clients, Browser, Firefox (keeping certain things separate from each other)), I don't imagine it'd be hard to get used to something that's just going to present me with a few options. Especially if I can just select it from the touch screen. -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
