[ubuntu-in] Netbooks - suggestions and advise

[Ramnarayan.K]

Hey

am looking for some clarifications

right now am downloading UNR should take another 15 hours or so.

There are some unresolved problems with Samsungs N 148 Plus

after some help from
http://twistedpairdevelopment.wordpress.com/2010/11/16/installing-ubuntu-on-a-samsung-n145-and-possibly-others/

i tried to rectify the functions keys but nope it doesn't work

For the second Netbook i am downloading UNR and lets see if it handles
the issue better.

some questions below

Kingsly earlier said that UNR was probably designed with Atom
Processors in mind,

My question is how exactly do different Linux's diffe in their
treatment of processors - intel has a whole range , then we have AMD -
then we have all the smaller processors (or maybe bigger) , so would
each of these have a different linux build optimised for them -

Second if its true from 11.04 there won't be a separate UNR then how
would it affect atom processors

LPIA	Low Power on Intel Architecture

what do you mean by dropped, and by who
 is it that atoms are no longer low power or is it that Ubuntu has
dropped support for atom processors

which then leads me to ask - whats the point of linux (or ubuntu) on
netbooks if they don't support atom processors

thanks
