[News] 2008 the Year of GNU/Linux on the (Sub)Notebook

Year Saw More Computers Leaping From Desktops to Pockets 

,----[ Quote ]
| Beyond a phone and a camera, a tech traveler's baggage 
| traditionally includes a laptop. But last year, that laptop 
| was often replaced by a "netbook." These ultra-cheap, 
| ultra-light machines (usually $300 or so and less than 
| three pounds) ditch standard computing functions such as 
| DVD playback to focus on Web access. The cheapest models in 
| this category don't run Windows either, instead employing a 
| version of the free, open-source Linux operating system.       
| 
| Yes, after a decade of predictions and wishes, Linux has 
| hit the mass market -- giving Microsoft yet another 
| headache.
