Looks pretty cool, i like the new icon theme.

 

[Arador]

Yay.......more brown.

I cant say i am impressed. I thought this version of Ubuntu was gonna get a major facelift? For me that meant something in the region of what happened with Windows when they did the whole facelift from Win 2000 to XP? It looks pretty much the same to me except for a different kind of brown being used? Bleh!

If you want a facelift, have a look at the moblin remix....

I'd run that on my desktop nevermind netbook to be honest...

I just dont understand why they just dont take one of the many other nice themes out there and make that the default instead of that offensive brown?

Officially, yes.. I would like to see if it can run on my desktop though.

Will a version that is intended for a machine that is light in the bonnet support a full spec machine you think?

 

[d0b33]

Don't know..

Geez no wonder I use Linobuntu and switched mainly to Linux Mint, looks better and a more complete package than Ubuntu.

Currently only enabled for Atom chips. AFAIK, future versions will run on the desktop.

Edit: Didn't read back far enough. Moblin pure only runs on atom. Not sure about moblin ubunu remix.
