Caught today from digg, I found out about Ubuntu, after finishing 8.04 is already gearing up for 8.10. One the visions for next version that I intriguing is this:
"Our desktop offering will once again be a focal point as we re-engineer the user interaction model so that Ubuntu works as well on a high-end workstation as it does on a feisty little subnotebook."
I think that it's awesome that a big name in the open source community is putting more focus on the many platforms that are out there, especially with all the eeeusers and cloudbookers looking and trying other distros to make the most with their machines. I wonder though how others will follow suit. Though I've already re-skinned the gOS to my liking, I may push to another distro I think is pretty awesome, Foresight Linux, and see how it does on the cloudbook. For now though, I'm going to play with the gOS and at least enjoy people ogling my cloudbook for the rest of the week.

I am glad to hear that Ubuntu is looking at these subnotebooks. I read your first post and it was strange there was no recovery CD/DVD. I have installed Ubuntu on my wifes Eee and had to roll back that change because I couldn't keep the wireless nic working.
