One Month With Ubuntu
http://panospace.wordpress.com –

Filmaster.com – Film Meets Freedom
http://danlynch.org –
I’m a big fan of Free Culture and free open source web services too, licensed under the AGPL. The example I use most is probably Identi.ca, because I’m a noisy git and I like talking to people.

Fair is Fair - Ubuntu Netbook Remix
http://community.zdnet.co.uk –
Ok, so I realized that if I'm going to be fair about this, in addition to trying Moblin on the nettop, I really should try the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR). I've mentioned several times that I have tried it, very briefly, on the HP Mini-Note, and the VIA CPU and Graphic adapter caused it to be unusably slow.
