"The primary reason for my preference for Ubuntu Netbook Remix
over other options is its extremely efficient use of the available
screen real estate. While most other distributions provide more of
the same interface as designed for desktops and laptops with large
monitors, Ubuntu Netbook Remix goes out of its way to reduce the
unnecessary clutter to a minimum. Gone are the taskbars and other
such "luxuries"; instead, the distribution sacrifices parts of the
applications' title bars to display icons of open applications (on
the left) and important system information, such as date or network
and battery status (on the right). This is a very clever way of
fitting a working environment to a small, 9-inch screen, thus
making Ubuntu Netbook Remix and excellent operating system for any
small-screen device."
