The new wave of Linux Lite – lean, mean and green
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is coming to an ultraportable near you! Sure, the oft-touted “year of
| the Linux desktop” is seen in the same light as such notable phrases
| like “the cheque’s in the mail”, “I’ll respect you in the morning” and “Duke
| Nukem Forever is being released” but there’s no denying the smash-hit success
| Linux is enjoying in the budget price ultraportable market. These are the
| Linux desktops that will catch on and here’s why.

Ubuntu MID makes Linux upwardly mobile
,----[ Quote ]
| The idea behind Ubuntu MID is to deliver "no compromise" Internet access on
| lightweight devices. This has been achieved in part with a Gecko-based
| browser, Flash and Java, plus integration with popular web sites such as
| Facebook, MySpace and YouTube.

Linux success on UMPCs nudges Microsoft’s XP strategy
,----[ Quote ]
| To that point, Ubuntu is releasing a UMPC-only version of Ubuntu 8.04 called
| Ubuntu Netbook Remix for Intel Atom-based netbooks and UMPCs. Because many
| current users of Linux-powered UMPCs may not even know they’re using open
| source, the hope is that more obvious “branding” will result in more people
| willing to run Linux on their primary PCs.

The year of the Linux … Mini Laptop!
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is making great strides in the consumer market lately. Although there
| had been forays by different companies before, when Dell came out with their
| Linux line, it was clear that Linux for the general consumer had arrived.
| Since then, other companies have followed suit, like Lenovo, and even
| Wallmart. But there is one product that seems to have really accelerated this
| trend and has managed to open a whole new class of products. This is the
| little tiny Linux laptop named the Eee PC.
