ubuntu 11.4 uses the unity interface which seems to be intended for netbooks. Older versions have a netbook remix option.

Options like XFCE work too. I've been using openbox a lot lately and love it, though its a bit more old school

Kubuntu (KDE) has for at least a version or two included the netbook version in the regular install

Didn't knew about openbox. I'll check it ASAP.


Give it a shot. Its very minimalist. Right click to open a menu, where you can set up launchers for stuff. Not really any icons cluttering the space, though you can set up a dock if you want it.

LIke I said, its kind of "old school linux" though, so not much eye candy, but sometimes its nice to just get stuff done
