Pinguy OS For Netbooks
Pinguy has released Ping-Eee OS 11.04, an Ubuntu-based remaster especially designed for netbooks: This was built and compiled using the ASUS Eee 901 Netbook and designed from the ground up to run on netbooks.
However, some of the applications available in the main Pinguy OS have been removed either because they make no sense on a netbook (e.g.: burning software) or because they use a lot of memory (Gnome DO, Glipper or Vineyard).
Ping-Eee OS also comes with extra WiFi drivers for many devices which are not normally supported out of the box on other Linux distributions, downgraded Compiz (to version 0.8.6 to avoid some problems that exist in Ubuntu 11.04) and many other tweaks and fixes.
Pinguy OS For Netbooks comes with Jupiter (which has Super Hybrid Engine support) and Granola to help with the power consumption and most applications from Pinguy OS: Docky, Nautilus Elementary, Firefox, Thunderbird, Skype, LibreOffice, Dropbox, Deluge, Empathy, VLC, Deja Dup backup tool, Linux Mint Update Manager, Wine and more. There's also Clementine instead of Rhythmbox.
