Motivation
I like Debian for its stability and predictability. And I like Ubuntu Netbook Remix for its suitability for small screen devices like the NC10. Running Ubuntu is in some sense like gambling – you never know if the next update will be a winner or a loser. So I decided to take the best of both worlds and combine Debian's predictability with the beauty of UNR. At the end I got a system which behaves exactly like I want it to: almost all special keys are supported, the automatic power management works like expected and the system is its biggest part plain Debian Lenny.
