ubuntu 8.10 is much better than 8.04 specially for the wireless Atheros, graphics// more about

available software and programs should be available in the users manual as u know linux software is hard to find.

keep up.

This version for me so far has "just worked" The wifi improvements have been wonderful. I have had some nice power management options that I didn't have before. I think this atleast to me has been a refinement release if such a thing exist. I am still waiting for Vista to work this well on all of this "made for/works with vista" equipment I have :) I agree with David.

I'm using it on a MSI Wind NetBook. 8.04 was nearly there but not quite. The wireless was just OK (the Realtek card supplied with the Wind was swapped out for an Linux friendly Intel mini-pcie card) and hibernate and suspend never worked. After an in place dist-upgrade to the release candidate a week ago this all got sorted. No drama or fuss, the only manual intervention required was installing the updated Netbook Remix specific desktop theme from the universe repository. 8.10; Evolutionary, not revolutionary and that is not a criticism.
