Is Smolt the Key to Counting Linux Users?
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux users are not an easy bunch to profile or to count. Many Linux users
| download the operating system for free and never perform any kind of systems
| registration to enumerate their hardware.
|
| That's where Smolt may be able to help fill the gap. Smolt is an open source
| hardware profiling technology that is already being used by Red Hat's Fedora
| and is set for inclusion in the upcoming Novell OpenSUSE 11.1 release.

More evidence of Microsoft "tying up" the Asus EeePC
,----[ Quote ]
| Then, one of the makers of Netbooks will release a fantastic product using
| the paid Ubuntu/Netbook Remix, which will make us all forget about the EeePC
| — or, maybe we’ll remember it as one of the makers which used GNU/Linux in
| order to launch a product, and then gave in to Microsoft’s pressure.
|
| The real question is: will the next maker manage to resist Microsoft’s
| pressure? Or will everybody end up closely tied up with Microsoft?
