I agree with you. For me the launcher/desktop it the killer app of UNR.

Before UNR flavour of Jaunty wsa available, I used Foresight Linux just because they integrated the UNR (the laucher/desktop).

For machines with a small screen, UNR FTW (and I’m not speaking about the distro).

Yeah, I need a portable hole to stash my DSLR if I also take the computer — airline 1-carry-on rules and such. I’m kind of excited about the Olympus EP-1 for that reason. That and a netbook could be happy together.

me too, my desktop has a 20″ display and i wish it was bigger. but when travelling, the 10″ netbook was a passable substitute and i think it is a good solution when it has to share the backpack space with a DSLR, lenses,flashes and all kind of gear.

I like things with a larger screen when I’m doing photo editing for sure though. Have to see the pixels

I have to disagree about the netbooks purpose: my Eee is busy a lot of the time playing videos (usually with Totem) and dealing with emails in a decent dedicated application (Thunderbird).

It also worked like a champ with photo editing and storage while I was at FUDCon.
