Biting into the Linux Sandwich of 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| On the bottom, at the low end of the IT and electronics industry, we see
| Linux prominent in netbooks, where it is generally agreed the OS has about
| 30% market share. This continues to be an unprecedented ‘desktop’ opportunity
| for Linux among consumers as well as its usual geek following. Another place
| where we see some preference by manufacturers and other vendors for Linux is
| in lower-end and basic feature phones, which do not necessarily have the
| pizazz of an iPhone or BlackBerry, but present opportunity with basic phone,
| camera, GPS, Internet and other capabilities, particularly in emerging
| markets. Mobile Linux is not limited to the low end of mobile as we see the
| work from the LiMO Foundation, Open Handset Alliance with Google’s Android
| and the large swath of hardware, software and services vendors that are
| members. These vendors and consortia, as well as the soon-to-be open sourced
| Symbian from Nokia and Symbian Foundation, are all using Linux and open
| source to create compelling smartphones and applications. This week’s CES
| provides further evidence that both form factors — netbooks and smartphones —
| will drive significant growth for Linux this year.

Mandriva - Mandriva Linux 2009 review
,----[ Quote ]
| Another year has just started and with it comes a clutch of new Linux distro
| releases, among them the somewhat predictably named Mandriva Linux 2009.
|
| As with previous versions, the 2009 implementation of Mandriva Linux is
| predominantly designed for desktop rather than server use. As such it can
| detect and handle most desktop hardware straight out of the box, including
| wireless notebooks and the latest breed of lightweight 'netbook' devices.
