Netbook Remix vs Desktop?
Posted: 04 Nov 2009, 11:39
Hello. I am a first time Ubuntu user and I need some help.
I first tried from the USB stick and then installed UNR 9.10 on my Samsung NC10. However, I didn't expect so much difference between the menus and the applications between UNR and Desktop so I didn't try both of them before installing. Now with my UNR already installed I also tried from the USB stick the desktop version and I like it better.
I definitely like it that the whole desktop is not covered with the menus instead they are on the top bar. Plus from just a glance I noticed that applications like Gparted and Remote Desktop are there, they are missing in UNR. But they can probably be installed...
Aside from the desktop/menus look and few apps difference, is there any real difference if I install the netbook version vs desktop version? Performance? Hardware load?
I still have only few personal files in the UNR so should I just install Desktop over it? Because I made separate partition for /home if I understood correctly even the few files I have can remain there. In the new install I point /, swap and /home to the correct partitions but I do not format /home. Is that right?
