Possibly some integration between the intrepid settings and the
jaunty software that may result in unexpected or undesired behaviour.
If you use the Netbook Remix, you lose the Desktop (mostly: there's a
way to switch to "Classic Mode", but there's a bug about switching back).

It just pulls some packages and some settings. I don't think you'd
want to add this to Netbook Remix. If you add it to Desktop (and it
hasn't bitrotted too much), the interface may resemble that for intrepid
UMPC.

If you're just looking for touchscreen support, then it doesn't
really matter which flavour you install. midbrowser is available, but
I'm not sure how well it works in Jaunty. You might also want to try
fennec, which seems to have gotten a fair number of good reviews.

You might try with a live USB session first, just to see if you like
it. That's the safe way to determine if something would meet your needs.
