Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Best netbook distro--opinions, anyone?

I prefer the full version of Ubuntu and scale down the icons and text on my
9 inch netbook. I do not like slab menus in general and UNR's interface with
its large icons reeks of it. It just does not look and feel right. It is a
toy operating system. Give me the real thing and I can fix it to work my
way.
