Netbooks and entry-level PCs with MeeGo are the beginning of a great friendship: there are already easily accessible applications on board to work with popular social networks in Russia such as VKontakte, My World, Facebook, Twitter, Livejournal. There is an office, music, video and data synchronization. MeeGo's clean and clear interface loads in seconds.
From myself I will add, MeeGo is characterized by low resource consumption and power consumption, thereby increasing the speed and autonomy of the netbook from the battery.

Owners of laptops Lenovo S10-3c: since this system is based on the Linux kernel, there are problems with keyboard support (the internal keyboard does not work, only the external one), it is solved with the boot parameter "noapic acpi = off", by cutting off ACPI you lose the battery charge indication, Power management. If someone finds a solution, without disabling ACPI I will be grateful.
You should have no problems with the work of MeeGo! If something does not work write.
Reason for editing: Adding information
Ramax2009, put something fresh because on Meego part of the software, so to speak, is lost. I did not find the mirrors of the repositories, as I put them on a virtual machine ... (although I probably looked badly) We lost everything ... like some OS2008 tablet packages
