I never understood the point by installing the netbook remix. I have an  
old Eee PC 900 and I installed the standard Ubuntu on it and it works just  
fine and I can use it exactly the same way as I use Ubuntu on my ”big”  
laptop. I don't even think that the Netbook remix is lighter than the  
standard version. I installed the Netbook remix a couple of years ago, and  
maybe things happened since then, but as I remember it I was very annoyed  
by the GUI so the first thing I did was to uninstall all the Neetbook  
remix stuff, making it look like the standard Ubuntu.
