I can has Ubuntu 12.10 running on my netbook! For the time being, at least - when Dad set it up, it was giving him pink-screen-of-death 3/4 of the times he started it. Suddenly it's playing nice and starting up properly 12 times in a row, but what's the betting it pink-screens me as soon as I get home?

It's shiiiny. Lightweight - much faster than Windows 7 Starter. And its odd layout is some kind of cross between a Mac interface and an Android interface. If I weren't used to Android on my phone I'd hate it, but I kind of love it now. Dropbox is installing as we type, and next I have to find some way of making Keynote run. Possibly using WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator, apparently).
