What is the best netbook OS?

At the moment I believe the Ubuntu Netbook Edition deserves this title.

The Ubuntu Netbook Edition comes with a program called Unity. Unity is a mobile computing interface made for the small screens most netbooks have. With large descriptive icons Unity makes it easier to work on a netbook without fumbling around for icons that are barely visible.

It also ships with social media capabilities out of the box. You can get on any major instant messaging network, use Facebook, Twitter, and other popular social media as soon as Ubuntu finishes installing.

As a netbook OS this Linux distribution ships with Wifi, 3G, and Bluetooth capabilities. As a netbook OS it is fast and clean, but it also has some features you would not expect in a little netbook OS. For example you would expect image editing software to be limited to a desktop or more powerful laptop but Ubuntu Netbook Remix ships with popular image editing software like gimp. Not to forget web essentials like flash and some cool mobile features such as music streaming to your phone. This awesome netbook OS can stream music to the IPhone & the Android. Ubuntu Netbook Edition also ships with Rythmbox & the Ubuntu Music Store. Popular mail clients like Skype, & Thunderbird are also supported.

This coupled with the fact Ubuntu is stable, has good support, and a huge application library make the Ubuntu Netbook Edition our choice for best netbook OS.
