And I agree on Ubuntu with Unity as well - while reviewing Ubuntu 12.04.2 last month, I liked it so much that I shifted from Linux Mint Cinnamon to Ubuntu 12.04.2. Unity DE is working much better now and is smoother to use.<br /><br />On Sabayon, it is really beautiful.

It works well with my netbook and I didn't face any issue of heating. I get a battery life of about 5-6 hours with LM XFCE (this one has a 6 cell battery).<br /><br />LXDE actually never worked that well on that machine and I faced display issues.

Thorough, without prejudice, incredibly informative.<br /><br />For my Asus EEE 900 netbook, I'm looking for a distro that runs the coolest and keeps the fan off and the battery life long.
