It's merged into the Desktop edition.
From wikipedia:
Beginning with version 10.10, Ubuntu Netbook Edition uses the Unity desktop as its desktop interface. The classic netbook interface was available in Ubuntu's software repositories as an option.
Because Ubuntu's desktop edition has moved to the same Unity interface as the netbook edition, starting with Ubuntu 11.04 the netbook edition has been merged into the desktop edition.
Here is a post from canonical blog which explains more:
Ubuntu Netbook Edition folded into Ubuntu for next release
One of the benefits of the direction that’s been taken with the next release of Ubuntu is that there is no longer a need for a separate netbook edition. The introduction of the new shell for Ubuntu means that we have a user interface that works equally well whatever the form factor of the PC. And the underlying technology works on a range of architectures including those common in netbook, notebooks, desktops or whatever you choose to run it on. Hence the need for a separate version for netbooks is removed...
So, there won't be an Ubuntu Netbook edition for future cycles - if you want to install Ubuntu on your Netbook, the normal desktop install will work just fine.

I wonder about the success of eliminating the Netbook edition. Reason: I've been trying to revive a series of older netbooks / small notebooks (1 Gig RAM, ~1.1 to 1.6 GHz, Atom and Centrino powered).
I initially loaded Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 on a Dell Latitude x300. Success!
Then, after consulting a help forum, was advised to try a more up-to-date Linux distro with Long Term Support (LTS), so, downloaded .iso's of LUBUNTU and LXLE, loading them onto a USB flash drive using RUFUS and then YUMI.
Both LUBUNTU and LXLE froze during install, choking on "forcepae" (they did not like Centrino or Pentium-M processors). But the UNE loaded without incident.
Of course, it is no longer supported and I am back to square one, wondering which distro I can load onto a series of physically sound but aging machines, destined for donations to those who need a machine. Bohdi? ZorinOS? Arch? Linux Lite?
Small RAM doesn't seem to be the sticking point, but CPU architecture (Centrino, Atom) does seem to be a sticking point. Constructive suggestions as to which distro would accomplish this mission?

I wonder about the success of eliminating the Netbook edition. Reason: I've been trying to revive a series of older netbooks / small notebooks (1 Gig RAM, ~1.1 to 1.6 GHz, Atom and Centrino powered).
I initially loaded Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 on a Dell Latitude x300. Success!
Then, after consulting a help forum, was advised to try a more up-to-date Linux distro with Long Term Support (LTS), so, downloaded .iso's of LUBUNTU and LXLE, loading them onto a USB flash drive using RUFUS and then YUMI.
Both LUBUNTU and LXLE froze during install, choking on "forcepae" (they did not like Centrino or Pentium-M processors). But the UNE loaded without incident.
Of course, it is no longer supported and I am back to square one, wondering which distro I can load onto a series of physically sound but aging machines, destined for donations to those who need a machine. Bohdi? ZorinOS? Arch? Linux Lite?
Small RAM doesn't seem to be the sticking point, but CPU architecture (Centrino, Atom) does seem to be a sticking point. Constructive suggestions as to which distro would accomplish this mission?

I wonder about the success of eliminating the Netbook edition. Reason: I've been trying to revive a series of older netbooks / small notebooks (1 Gig RAM, ~1.1 to 1.6 GHz, Atom and Centrino powered).
I initially loaded Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 on a Dell Latitude x300. Success!
Then, after consulting a help forum, was advised to try a more up-to-date Linux distro with Long Term Support (LTS), so, downloaded .iso's of LUBUNTU and LXLE, loading them onto a USB flash drive using RUFUS and then YUMI.
Both LUBUNTU and LXLE froze during install, choking on "forcepae" (they did not like Centrino or Pentium-M processors). But the UNE loaded without incident.
Of course, it is no longer supported and I am back to square one, wondering which distro I can load onto a series of physically sound but aging machines, destined for donations to those who need a machine. Bohdi? ZorinOS? Arch? Linux Lite?
Small RAM doesn't seem to be the sticking point, but CPU architecture (Centrino, Atom) does seem to be a sticking point. Constructive suggestions as to which distro would accomplish this mission?
