Ubuntu 11.04 for netbooks on Dell Inspiron Duo

[Amr Ali]

True, though, my worries was more toward the actual distribution not the fancy

sure about it, I've noticed some enhancements in the "backend", but still some
nasty bugs remain (the fact that /usr/include/asm is missing is shocking all in
itself, and can .. actually will prevent a lot of packages to be compiled from
source).
