Much and all as I am opposed to uniformity and the "one distro to rule them
all" mindset... I do wish the netbook producers would have looked around a
bit more at the various distros that they could have used. Sure, a vanilla
Ubuntu/Debian system may not have been ideal, but surely it would have made
a better base than "Linpus" or whatever it's called. It really is an
off-putting thing for many people.
