"I've spent the last few days using, rather than cursing at, my netbook.

"My thoughts on the Nokia Booklet 3G have been documented already, so I won't bore you with that other than to remind you that the device is very pretty and well-specified, except for its lousy Atom Z530 processor, which really struggles under Windows 7 Starter Edition.

"So I decided to try something different. Having gone to an Ubuntu event last week, I gave Ubuntu Netbook Remix a shot, only to find it was having difficulty with the unusual 720p resolution of the Booklet 3G. I know it's not that difficult to configure such things on Linux, but I don't care — right now I'm in search of the easiest-to-use, most netbook-friendly distro out there."
