Decisions, decisions

Who knew? Turns out I installed the "regular" version of Ubuntu 9.04 (aka "Jaunty Jackalope") on my Acer netbook. But they have a "Netbook Remix" version that's been optimized for smaller screens. And, uh, they were right; it's cooler.

I followed the instructions for loading the distro on a memory stick. I so happen to have a 4 GB jump drive I don't use, so I copied the image to it. It's just shy of 1 GB, and seems to include pretty much everything you need. My netbook booted from the jump drive with no problems, even. I rather like the look, though I wasn't all that unhappy with what I had, before.

*sigh* As I said: decisions, decisions. I'm quite tempted to replace what I've loaded (and spent hours getting set up) with this new distro version. But no decisions tonight. Stay tuned.

Oh, in case you haven't figured it out by now, Linux is pretty cool and so is Ubuntu, as well.
