I've been using both Ubuntu and Kubuntu 10.04 Netbook versions for the last 24 hours and have some thoughts. I loaded the software onto bootable flash drives and have tested them on multiple Netbooks from Lenovo, ASUS, Dell and Gateway.
The biggest surprise I've had so far is the desktop used by the Kubuntu version. Kubuntu Netbook Edition uses the Plasma Netbook shell. This features two desktop activities, one for launching applications and one for using Plasma Widgets. There is a retracting panel at the top for the system tray. Switching applications is done with a, currently incomplete, widget in the top left corner.
It's VERY different and will take some getting used to.
