Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 on a Lenovo S10

In this video Marina from Marina's Bloggariffic reviews Ubuntu Netbook Remix Karmic Koala on her Lenovo Ideapad S10 netbook. She goes through the sections linked from the dashboard and demonstrates some of the available applications, including browsing the Web with Firefox, watching online video, and creating documents with OpenOffice.org.

In general Marina is satisfied with UNR, but she also mentions some downsides. For example she cannot access options for doing audio or video calls in the Empathy messaging program and cannot change settings in the Adobe Flash player to set it up for doing live video streaming. There are also issues with communicating with her smartphone via Bluethooth.

Marina ends her review with one of the most impressive features of Linux based systems. Access to large repositories of free and open source software including games, graphics editors, applications for playing audio and video files, and many more. Consequently, she suggests to download and try Ubuntu Netbook Remix yourself to see whether it works for you, which sounds like a fantastic idea, wouldn't you agree?
