eRacks Offers Top Netbooks Preinstalled with Ubuntu and Fedora Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| eRacks Open Source Systems is now offering Asus, MSI, and Acer Netbooks
| preinstalled with Ubuntu or Fedora Linux. eRacks' netbooks use Intel's new
| Atom processor and are smaller, lighter, and more portable than laptops.
| Netbooks are also significantly less expensive but can easily handle the
| daily tasks like web-browsing, email, writing documents and spreadsheets.
| Other vendors sell netbooks with a simplified version of Linux, such as
| Linpus, but eRacks goes the extra step and configures the fully functional
| Linux operating system on its netbooks.

How To: Become a Linux Netbook Power User
,----[ Quote ]
| So, the season of giving has just come and gone, and you’ve received a
| Linux-based netbook—the popular new class of ultra-cheap, ultra-portable
| computer. By definition, netbooks are very limited in what they can do;
| they’re primary meant for accessing the web as well as some moderate office
| and multimedia use. Their low-speed processor and minimal memory means that
| they’re just not suited for more intensive applications like gaming or video
| editing.

| These sleek Wi-Fi-enabled computers are usually limited in capacity, and to
| keep costs down, often ship with the open-source Linux operating system
| instead of Microsoft's Windows.

Cheap PCs Weigh on Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| But most netbooks have less processing power than their full-featured cousins
| and can’t run high-spec versions of Windows, the world’s most widely used
| operating system. Microsoft is selling netbook makers cheaper, lighter
| versions of its operating system, but some manufacturers cut it out
| altogether by using Linux, an open-source OS. About 30% of netbooks, which
| sell for as little as $300, run a version of Linux.
