    How do I get/install Ubuntu Netbook Remix?

    I want to try Ubuntu Netbook remix and want to run it on two environments.

    First, I want to use it on a Mac Pro using VMWare for a virtual machine. I plan to do this first.

    I also am planning on purchasing a netbook within the month of March and will be purchasing the Acer Aspire 10" model.

    Will it run okay on these two machines?

    Most of all I'm confused because I see how you can download the various versions of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc. but I don't see how you can download Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

    I see some links talking about how you need a lot of experience to do it so do I have to do some type of compiling?
    Is there an actual Ubuntu Netbook Remix CD that I can download?

    Or do I install Ubuntu and then do a software update and download the Netbook Remix desktop?

    Thank you for your help.

    Ubuntu Netbook Remix | Canonical

    the core remix product is available to all through the Canonical repositories
    ...
    To use the Ubuntu Netbook Remix you need to install packages on top of an existing Ubuntu installation and you may have some compatibility issues depending on your hardware profile.
    Packages download info is here:
