KELLNER: Netbook or notebook: Valuable portability
,----[ Quote ]
| On the Linux side, and especially for the smaller computer users in your
| world, the OLPC, or One Laptop Per Child, XO model - which runs on
| electricity and a hand-cranked battery - is a great choice at just under $400
| at Amazon.com. No, it's not the world's most sophisticated computer, but the
| only way you or I can buy one is to pay enough to let the OLPC folks give one
| to a child in the developing world. That alone makes it worthwhile.

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...
