Today I decided to finally try out Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my netbook, and holy crap is it nice. There are a couple of rough edges (especially for installation, because of how it is more a modification of Gnome than a standalone environment) and until I turned off Compiz entirely (Preferences: Appearance: Visual Effects: None) a lot was broken, but a lot of things I thought were questionable design choices end up working out REALLY well.

Nearly everything does run maximized, though. I wonder if there's any terminals which let you split into multiple panes. (I mean, short of running a terminal under Emacs.) Or maybe there's some hidden preference to add windows to the non-maximized blacklist (since not everything does).
