2008's top three netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| Acer's Aspire One was the world's most popular netbook in Q3, and it quickly
| became our favourite too thanks to its great keyboard, nice bright screen,
| solid spec and - crucially for a Small, Cheap Computer - a low price that has
| fallen even further online since then. It has a decent appliance-style Linux
| UI, or you can buy it with Windows for compatibility. The 8GB solid-state
| drive could be faster, but there's an HDD option if you want speed and
| capacity.

| gOS, famous as the Linux-based operating system on Everex systems sold at
| Wal-Mart, has been optimized for netbooks. There are also new flavors of
| Linux in the works specifically aimed at netbooks. One of these is Jolicloud,
| a version of Linux being customized for netbooks and cloud applications.
| Former Netvibes CEO Tariq Krim is behind the effort.

Linux Carried Along on Netbooks Wave
,----[ Quote ]
| Morvay revealed to Linux Magazine Online that there were no specific figures
| for Linux netbook sales, but that it lay somewhere in the 40th percentile.
| Even though this figure seems a little high, it is known that many of the
| world's netbooks have Linux on board since their first inception 18 months
| ago.
|
| For example, notebooks with Linux make up about 5.5% of the notebook market
| in Germany...
