Three Reasons Why All Linux Users Should Support Ubuntu, Even If They Don’t Use
It
,----[ Quote ]
| 1: Ubuntu’s stated goal has always been to make a linux for ordinary
| people, and it has usually succeeded in making their distro easy for novices
| to pick up. For that reason, Ubuntu is already a good distro for new
| users.
|
| 2: While a generic Wubi is being created to work with any linux
| distribution, Ubuntu is, now, still the only distro which features the
| ability to install itself easily onto a windows system and, just as easily,
| remove itself. This reduces the upfront cost of time and knowledge
| necessary to install linux on your computer, so new users will be more likely
| to try using linux and will encounter fewer road blocks to that goal.
|
| 3: While choice is wonderful, having one distro which every linux user can
| point to as the distro for people new to linux makes it easier for advocates.

| I've looked at GoodOS (gOS) before in two other posts: The Netbook Market
| Booms with Linux Onboard and Three Linux Distros to Watch and Use but now
| they've taken the lightweight operating system (OS) one step further with
| Taiwan-based manufacturer GigaByte.

Future CloudBooks to Have Touch, SSD, 22-inch Screens?
,----[ Quote ]
| Everex’s first $399 ultraportable CloudBook is set to go on sale on February
| 15 at Walmart.com. The low-cost laptop takes direct aim at Asus’ Eee PC. But
| will Everex’s larger hard drive, better web-cam and a new improved Linux OS
| outshine the popular Eee PC? The Asus system has already sold close to
| 400,000 units.
