Default Ubuntu Netbook Remix for Atom ONLY?
I've been Googling this for half an hour. I want to try UNR with my laptop which has a Core Duo T2050 cpu so that i could actually have some use of it and can't quite find out if the Ubuntu notebook remix is Intel Atom exclusive or just optimized for it.

You could just install normal Ubuntu 9.04, and then install the netbook packages...
(sorry, I can't remember the exact names of all the packages)

Edit: This link should help - just change the word "intrepid" to "jaunty" anywhere it appears

that would be optimized, Atoms are just plain old x86, just more like old school P60 running at vrooooom speeds. Tl;dr yes it should work

it should work...

AFAIK 9.04 can even run on ARM chips, so why wouldn't it run on a C2D chip?

Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) is a 'remix' of the standard Ubuntu Desktop release to enable it to work better on devices with small screens, such as netbooks (sub-notebooks), although these packages will work on any 8.04 (Hardy) or 8.10 (Intrepid) installation.
I understand your concern that it could have been compiled for x86 and with atom compile/optimizing flags only. but it appears to be regular ubuntu with some packages.
