Installed Jaunty
Posted By matt on April 27, 2009
- The laptop upgrade was a simple incremental upgrade. Nothing earthshaking, despite trying both Gnome and KDE4. I’m still using XFCE.
- The netbook, however, is quite wonderful. I’m now using the [http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr Netbook Remix| and the UI is quite good for small devices. Of course, I need to tweak the crap out of the base install (but that has more to do with me than anything else) and I need to post my install docs (including the old minimal install) but in general I’m quite happy.
- The one criticism I have, however, is that it created a swap drive which was too small to use for hibernation. This makes sense, as if it created a large enough one for hibernation, there wouldn’t be enough space for the install. At that point, however, with a gig of RAM, it’s not really worth even bothering to create it, and so I’ll be removing it to make some more space.

hibernating? I usually just shut the machine down when I need to go away from it for a while.

It can be useful as it saves the state of your OS – the thirty windows across 8 desktops in a given state, etc. For the netbook, I don't actually care, however.
