    I just purchased an Acer Aspire One and want to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix on it. I've done a Ubuntu install on other machines but I'm confused about the Netbook Remix. Is there an actual iso I can download to create an install CD? Or do I have to install standard Ubuntu and then somehow install the new netbook remix desktop through the repository or through a CD?

    You can install a specific usb image with netbook ui configured. A download link and more information can be found in the topic of UNR 1.0.1. That one is based on Hardy.
    You can also install Hardy or Intrepid from external cd or create an usb image of them. In that case you need to add a repository from which you can install the netbook release packages. You can also find a lot of information about that on this forum and specific help pages.

    Link to the topic about unr 1.0.1:
