I've got about the same specs, and UNR is just no joy, as Gnome is way too heavy :/
Xubuntu uses XFCE, and although it lacks a couple of features that would make life on a netbook easier (the launcher and the optimisation of screen space via maximus and the window-picker-applet), it's so much lighter that the trade-off is worth it.
