Gear! The latest release of Ubuntu looks really, really good!

What impresses me most is the Unity netbook interface that is packaged with the OS. Having used a 1024x600 netbook with Ubuntu, I can attest that vertical clearance matters! Unity implements a global window title-bar, and a side-launcher that leaves a very comfortable space for applications!



What's even better about this new setup is the fact that it should work (and work well) with the Galaxy Tab's resolution! Although the speeds are a little slow (it would be great if the Tab were running a Tegra T20 -- drool... lust...), it would still be ok for some less demanding apps. I may have to vnc afterall.....

Where's my Android X server already?!

Even at slow speeds, I would have access to a very familiar linux environment for some of my productivity. I'm just hoping that it's not *too* slow. When ARM chips match ATOM in terms of speed, I may have to upgrade the Tab.

Is it bad that I'm buying it knowing that I will be upgrading in a year??
