Release Note
Ubuntu Netbook Remix is now available on all architectures in addition to i386.

- Alpha is an end-user has a 64-bit capable netbook, and wishes to use Ubuntu Netbook Remix/amd64 on it
- Beta is an OEM, and wishes to ship an ARM based netbook
- Delta wishes to develop for UNR on his ia64 based desktop
