Canonical rolls out sleeker, sexier UI for Ubuntu Netbook Remix
While it's not yet on public display at the UNR web page, there are plenty of images of the restyled interface over at Ubuntu Mini. It's much less cluttered than the previous version, which is an important improvement for an OS designed for diminutive netbook displays.
Continuing with the streamlining of the UI, application launches no longer call an animation - just a simple notifier in the center of the screen. Adding apps to your favorites is now much easier as well. You no longer need to drag an item to the Go Home apple. A simple click on the add to favorites button next to an app's icon is all it takes.
If you'd like to take the new interface for a spin, you can grab the alpha ISO image from the Karmic Koala download page.

Augh! What will it take to get a version of Linux that runs properly on my laptop's crappy Trident video?! XP is ancient, 7 doesn't work too well. Linux would be perfect if it didn't spaz out when I unplug it.

this looks great compared to the old one. unfortunately, even the old one was too much for my eee 900, so I had to go with eeebuntu base (no launcher).

Moblin just looks so freaking awesome, I hope Canonical would adopt it.

I am big fan of Ubuntu but calling that sexy is like calling Rosanne Barr sexy.

I wish I could make my 12" Windows XP laptop look like this!
