The Ubuntu team this morning announced the release of a beta edition of its Netbook Remix 9.04 operating system. Netbook Remix has a customised interface designed to be easier to use on the smaller screens of netbook devices. Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is the first release to be “fully integrated into the Ubuntu family, fully up to date with the latest applications and hardware support”. In addition to the customised interface UNR also sports a speedy boot time.

Netbooks that the new release is known to work well on include the Asus EEE PC 900, Asus EEE PC 1000, Acer Aspire One, Samsung NC10 and the Dell Mini 9.
