Turns out, that the linux based system I kept thinking about while writing the below post was not UNR, but it was Moblin. This is the netbook system that is set on a fixed resolution of 1024×600 and allows for you to do the basic tasks on a netbook.

Check it out!

The other day I was surfing through my regular tech sites and ran across Ubuntus version of OS for Netbooks.

According to the site: “It includes a new consumer-friendly interface that allows users to quickly and easily get on-line and use their favourite applications. This interface is optimised for a retail sales environment. “

It is supposed to be a lightweight system specifically designed for netbooks with a fixed resolution of 1024×600, 512MB Ram and 4GB of space.

I just downloaded the 1 Gig Image file and all I need to do now is to copy this image onto a memory stick and see how smooth it runs.

Check out some of the features of UNR as listed on Unbutu’s site:
