    I gave it a try...good for light web usage (even though Chromium still needs a tweak or two) and the stantard social networks. Its snappy on a netbook. I will install as a second boot option over Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

    I tested MeeGo (from an USB flash drive) on my Acer 7720. Looks pretty interesting for a small laptop or even some touchscreen-based device. However, I not tried the multimedia features as all my music/videos are in partitions ReiserFS and this filesystem is not supported by MeeGo.

    I will give it a second try...I did the USB boot in my Aspire One, I will create a small partition and give it a chance.

    MeeGo was a no-go for me. unfortunately none of my laptops have the supported video chipset.

    also tried out peppermint which was pretty cool, but im back to mint now. :p
