I have installed the netbook version. I just assumed it was maximized
for a netbook. It is on a MSI Wind U100 (which I bought to turn into a
Hackintosh) with a 250GB hard drive and 2 gigs of memory. I am totally
new to this so I have absolutely no knowledge regarding the difference
between the "netbook" version and the "full" version. Partitioned the
hd and may still install Snow Leopard down the road...but I gotta tell
ya I am liking Meerkat more and more. Also I solved the mp3
issue....drag and drop does work. I guess I wasn't doing it right or
was not patient.



I'm glad you resolved your mp3 issue!

I don't have much experience with the netbook version (I have an Acer,
also 250GB/2GB), I tried installing it last spring when I first started
using Ubuntu and had several problems although now I don't recall what
they were. But my husband had been using the regular version on his
laptop, so I just installed that and haven't had a problem with it so I
guess it's a moot point anyway :).

Enjoy!

I never understood the point by installing the netbook remix. I have an
old Eee PC 900 and I installed the standard Ubuntu on it and it works just
fine and I can use it exactly the same way as I use Ubuntu on my ”big”
laptop. I don't even think that the Netbook remix is lighter than the
standard version. I installed the Netbook remix a couple of years ago, and
maybe things happened since then, but as I remember it I was very annoyed
by the GUI so the first thing I did was to uninstall all the Neetbook
remix stuff, making it look like the standard Ubuntu.
