Ubuntu gets the Remix right
,----[ Quote ]
| Shuttleworth's company Canonical is behind the Ubuntu Linux distribution and
| recently announced what it called a Ubuntu Notebook Remix which could be used
| on certain portable internet-centric devices. In the case of Ubuntu, this is
| aimed at devices which are built around Intel's Atom procesor. This, of
| course, is trying to follow in the footsteps of the eeePC which has enjoyed
| success beyond anybody's wildest dreams.

New review (good publicity):
Ubuntu Netbook Remix - Linux's great white hope?
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a version on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Herron) that's
| optimised for devices with small screens - Netbook is one of several terms
| kicking around to describe small, low-powered PCs.

Hands on with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix
,----[ Quote ]
| Canonical is positioning itself to take the lead on software in the
| subnotebook market, but a big piece of the puzzle is still absent: customers.
| Although Canonical is working closely with Intel on reference designs, there
| is no word yet about potential commercial adopters for the Netbook Remix. No
| major OEMs have revealed plans to use it yet and Canonical is still actively
| looking for new partners in the hardware space. Regardless of whether it gets
| picked up by hardware makers like Asus, it is sure to be a big hit with
| Ubuntu's fans. The fact that so many users are installing the regular desktop
| version of Ubuntu on their Eee laptops is strong indication that there is
| demand for Ubuntu on subnotebooks.

The Schnorring of America -- Obama is About to End It
,----[ Quote ]
| Bill Clinton paid lip service to "ubuntu" in a 2006 speech in England, but
| lip service was all it was. He was actually being his usual schnorrer self,
| making one of his highly paid speeches that helped fund Hillary's futile
| presidential bid.
|
| When you think of someone like Obama replacing Bush and Billary, think of
| Linux replacing Windows.
|
| Ubuntu first entered the Western world lexicon as the name of the most easily
| accessible version of Linux, the computer operating system that provides a
| fresh, clean change from Windows.
|
| As a philosophy both in the high-tech world and in society as a whole, ubuntu
| stands for open-source relations among people. And Obama presents the
| possibility of, as a major example, a major change in race relations.

The Ultimate Ultraportable?
,----[ Quote ]
| As I've noted a number of times, I think the appearance of the ultraportable
| platform will provide a huge boost for GNU/Linux among ordinary users, and
| prove to be a watershed in the history of open source. The combination of
| ultraportable form factor with Ubuntu's ease-of-use will only magnify that
| effect. And if the rumours about Dell's new mini Inspiron running Ubuntu
| (presumably the Netbook Remix) prove correct, we could be witnessing the
| birth of the ultimate ultraportable.
