Ubuntu 11.04 for netbooks on Dell Inspiron Duo

[Ahmed Kamal]

I brought up Unity because that is the biggest piece of new code, which is
likely where you might be seeing more bugs than usual. Other than that Natty
should be rock solid. Not sure why you're mentioning the t1.micro bug as it
should be not applicable to normal desktop/netbook use in any way. Same for
the headers issue you're mentioning, it shouldn't apply to normal desktop
audience. And it's not a "bug" per se, it's part of introducing multiarch.
Applications should look under /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm (or the
32bit equivalent) and not /usr/include/asm/ directly (you can softlink if
you have to). So concluding, and especially apart from Unity, I don't see
any overall quality issues in Natty in any way.
