"I've had a couple of very pleasant surprises with the Netbook
Remix of the Lucid Release Candidate this weeend. First, I was
going to load the full version on my beloved little HP 2133
Mini-Note, but I realized that I only had the 64-bit full version,
and the 32-bit Netbook Remix. So I thought what the heck, I'll give
it a try. When I've loaded it before on the 2133 it was painfully
slow to use, because of the limited Chrome9 video driver. This
time, though, I could see as soon as I booted the Live USB that it
was a lot better. It loaded without any trouble at all, and runs
very nicely, with none of the awful 5-10 second delay as icons
changed that it had before. I don't honestly know if they have
improved the Chrome driver, as the ATI and nVidia drivers have
been, or if they have just made the UNR user interface work better
with lower performance graphic drivers."
