I have netbook remix on but use the standard interface, works lovely for me over 3G via my current e90, wifi etc. only thing I did was switch to Amarok 1 rather than 2 as I prefer the interface and way it works than 2 which is by all intents still a beta.

even MythTV works nice ( my aim is to work it into being a car PC as well as a media system for home/caravan)
