Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE), known asUbuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) prior to the release ofUbuntu 10.04,[3][4][5] is a discontinued version of theUbuntuoperating system (OS) that had been optimized to enable it to work better onnetbooks and other devices with small screens or with theIntel AtomCPU.
UNE was available starting withUbuntu release 8.04 ("Hardy Heron"). UNE was also an optional preinstalled operating system on some netbooks, such asDell Inspiron Mini 10v and theToshiba NB100, and also ran on popular models such as theAcer Aspire One and theAsus Eee PC.
Canonical Ltd., the developers of Ubuntu, collaborated with theMoblin project to ensure optimization for lower hardware requirements and longer battery life.[6]
Beginning with version 10.10, Ubuntu Netbook Edition used theUnity desktop as its desktop interface. The classic netbook interface was available in Ubuntu's software repositories as an option.[7][8]
Because Ubuntu's desktop edition has moved to the same Unity interface as the netbook edition, starting withUbuntu 11.04, the netbook edition was merged into the desktop edition.[1]
UNE could be installed in several ways:
Starting with UNE 10.10, the interface was switched to Unity. Due to the desktop version of Ubuntu also being changed to the Unity interface, the netbook edition was rolled into the general Ubuntu distribution starting withUbuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal and the netbook edition was discontinued as a separate distribution.[1]
Dell Ubuntu Netbook Edition is built specifically for the hardware profile of theInspiron Mini 9, and is also available for theInspiron Mini 12. It includes a custom built interface and launcher as well as non-free codecs such asMPEG-4 andMP3. It began shipping on September 22, 2008.[11]
EasyPeasy is considered to be among the first UNE-based distributions, with a focus on the usage ofproprietary software likeSkype by default and also integrating a set of different standard applications and drivers.[citation needed]
The minimum requirements are a Intel Atom CPU of at least 1.6 GHz, 512MB RAM and 4GB storage.[12]
