Questions tagged [ubuntu-netbook]

The Ubuntu Netbook Edition. It has been discontinued since 11.04. This tag can also cover Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but it does not cover the general use of Ubuntu on a netbook computer.

Before 10.04 it was known as the "Ubuntu Netbook Remix". From 11.04 it no longer exists separately, as it has been merged with the main Ubuntu release.
