This document summarizes the experience of installing and using Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an Acer Aspire One netbook. Key points include: 1) Ubuntu Netbook Remix is an optimized version of Ubuntu for netbooks, with additional packages like ume-launcher and human-netbook-theme. 2) Installation on the Acer Aspire One took about an hour to replace the existing Linpus Lite operating system. 3) Out of the box, Compiz works well but wifi did not without updated drivers. Sound also had problems without latest ALSA. The slow SSD storage also impacted performance.
