Eeebuntu 2.0 SD Card Installation on the Aspire One
,----[ Quote ]
| To supplement storage space with the initial purchase of the Aspire One (8 GB
| SSD version), I bought a 16 GB Transcend TS16GBSDHC6 card that integrates
| nicely into the left card slot. The pre-installed Linux Linpus just wasn't
| what I needed since I use many networking tools at work and at home. I
| initially ran Ubuntu 8.041 with the /home partition on the 16 GB SDHC card. I
| discovered Eeebuntu while searching for information on how to boot and run
| Linux off a SDHC card. The goal was of multi-boot installations of Ubuntu,
| with one install specifically loaded with the tools I use at work. The Acer
| Aspire One BIOS does not 'see' the card, so you can't boot from it using the
| [F12] startup key (More on the SDHC boot up further in this article).

Dell's Ubuntu Mini 9 gets more storage and memory
,----[ Quote ]
| The guys over at NetbookNews.it have noticed that Dell's Ubuntu based Mini 9
| netbook can now be equipped with a 64GB solid state drive and up to 2GB of
| memory.
|
| Unlike the Windows XP version of Dell's Mini 9 which is rather crippled and
| limited to 16GB/160GB and 1GB of memory options, the Ubuntu Dell Mini 9 can
| now be upgraded to 2GB of memory and up to 64GB of solid state drive
| capacity. The new features will of course lift the price tag to over US $500
| but it is nice to know that you at least can go for it.

Memo to Dell: Pump Up Ubuntu Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Sure, Dell has successfully introduced a few Ubuntu PCs and laptops to the
| geek crowd. But now it’s time for Dell to disrupt the very PC industry it
| helped to build.
|
| Remember: Michael Dell himself used Ubuntu Linux on a home PC before Dell
| (the company) decided to sell Ubuntu systems in mid-2007. Greg Davis, Dell’s
| new global channel chief, should do the same.
|
| Start using disruptive technology, Greg, to see emerging market opportunities
| before Dell's competition.

Dell’s Linux Ads: Microsoft’s Nightmare Before Christmas?
,----[ Quote ]
| For at least the third time in recent weeks, prominent Dell newspaper
| advertisements feature the Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook running Canonical’s Ubuntu
| 8.04 (that’s a small Linux notebook, folks). The VAR Guy hears Microsoft “has
| gone postal” over the Linux notebook ads. You might even say this is
| Microsoft’s nightmare before Christmas. Here’s the complete scoop.
|
| [...]
|
| At $349, Dell’s low-cost Ubuntu Linux system is “giving Microsoft fits,”
| according to one source familiar with the Microsoft-Dell relationship. “It’s
| one thing to have Dell ship Linux to consumers,” said the source. “It’s quite
| another to have Dell advertising Linux to millions of consumers in a Sunday
| newspaper heading into the holiday season.”

You Don't Make Mistakes Like This.
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell screwed up. No wait...they didn't screw anything up. They fully intended
| to do what they did. Now tell me they are not under the thumb of Microsoft.
| Why was this statement necessary? Let the customer decide. So tell me Dell is
| a friend of Linux or that they are not complete quislings for the Redmond
| Empire. Oh please...I do so want to hear you tell me this. It will be an
| Academy Award performance. It will have to be to explain away this.

Dell Launches Consumer Advertising for Ubuntu Linux PCs
,----[ Quote ]
| It’s one small step for Dell and consumer Linux — and one giant leap for
| Canonical’s Ubuntu Linux efforts. Specifically, Dell is spending advertising
| dollars to promote PCs with Ubuntu Linux preinstalled. The move has
| significant implications for the business world as well. Here’s why.
|
| First, some details about the advertisement. Many many U.S. newspapers on
| Sunday, October 12, included a multi-page Dell flier. Among the many products
| advertised was the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, a low-cost sub-notebook designed for
| email and Web browsing.
