Moblin on my mind

Thinking of adding Moblin to my boot choices on a Netbook, any users have experiences to report? Does it give better web surfing by having a custom designed screen? Does not having Windows running improve the speed with less baggage?

Moblin is free and has a live image/CD, why don't you try it out?

Haven't used moblin since they updated the UI a couple of weeks ago, but I found that the Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix was an improvement over XP for browsing.

You can boot either Moblin or Ubuntu Netbook Remix off of a USB drive and try it out without touching your existing XP install.
