Asus EEE PC 1201N I'm emailing from my new netbook to describe how much I love the newest Ubuntu. It took 45 minutes to get through the Windows 7 setup to even be able to start using the netbook. It took 2 restarts later before the system decided it was updated enough to let me play around. Touchpad would not scroll, which is a major annoyance.
No CD drive on the netbook so I had to setup a bootable thumb drive. Setting up the USB, installing Ubuntu, and upgrading everything took 25 minutes. Initially the wireless didn't work at all so I tethered to my Android phone. After the upgrade, wireless and everything else works flawlessly. The nVidia drivers make image quality incredible. This is one of the netbooks with the nVidia Ion graphics. The Gwibber feature is incredible. I've turned off social networking tools on my G1. While I don't expect the world to transition to Linux just yet, I do think Ubuntu is onto something with this release and the population is sure to grow. Can't wait to show up to my first BLUG meeting with my netbook. Hoping someone can show me a good blogging client for Linux on par with Windows Live Writer. Josh
