[Tfug] Yes, I remember how I claimed Apple was at war with Hackintoshes.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix on my Acer Aspire One (8.9") at 
the weekend, and all I can say is wow! With just a few mouse clicks and 
no typing it found and set up both my networked printers (Brother laser 
and Epson inkjet).

The user interface is clear and easy to use. Flash videos play smoothly. 
The new software installation app has been redesigned and is easier to use.

I don't see how an Apple OS could make it easier to use than this... at 
least on netbooks anyway.
