Hands On with the HP Mini 1000 Mi Netbook

,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux environment was a pleasure to use, and the quirks didn't take long 
| to get used to. The file structures are similar to what I'm used to seeing in 
| XP, and the programs are close enough that I didn't have any trouble working 
| on the system. We haven't run benchmarks on the Mini, so I can't comment on 
| its performance comparatively. However, Linux is less resource-intensive than 
| the XP on our earlier review unit, which bodes well.

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...
