Default [phoronix]Ubuntu MID Edition 8.04
this looks like a cool and lite ubuntu OS. i like the black theme too. check it out. i plan on doing some research after this has been out for a while to see if i can install it on my nokia N810.
Quote:
Two months after Ubuntu 8.04 LTS was released and almost one month after Ubuntu Netbook Remix was first showcased, Ubuntu MID Edition 8.04 has been released. This is the newest Canonical product in the Ubuntu family and is designed for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). Ubuntu MID Edition is a cut-down version of Ubuntu 8.04 for the desktop but with many packages sliced away and with optimizations for Intel's Atom Processor and mobile software enhancements as a result of the Moblin project.
