Ubuntu Netbook Edition Plans To Slim Down

The next version of Ubuntu Netbook Edition, or Netbook Remix as it was previously known will be slimmed down to a lighter package and only include apps that are relevant or more appropriate to netbooks.

First off, OpenOffice has been removed from the current daily builds, which is odd since there’s no replacement for that and it’s perfectly relevant for a netbook. Other apps that have been axed are Tomboy, graphics apps and PalmOS Pilot. Some apps have been hidden: Dictionary and Brasero / CD creator. Some of these apps have been replaced by more netbook friendly apps including Gwibber, Cheese Webcam Booth and SimpleScan.
