Note that as part of taking Ubuntu Delivered by rPath beyond its current alpha status, we have been making changes to our infrastructure to better support this platform. Because of the nature of these changes, updates to existing appliances based on Ubuntu Delivered by rPath will fail and need to be rebuilt and redeployed.

There's now yet another variant of Ubuntu "Ubuntu NetBook Remix"  for netbooks and webooks such as the ASUS EEE ! Apparently wi-fi doesn't work so maybe I should wait for OpenSolaris Redux !
