Linux Netbook Bundled With Norton 360

,----[ Quote ]
| Reader Mark Scott submitted this interesting variation on Linux OEM netbooks: 
| this one is bundled with Symantec's Norton 360. 
| 
| Symantec's Norton 360 is an all-in-one anti-virus anti-phishing anti-spyware 
| anti-botnet pro-firewall, backup and restore, the kitchen sink, and much 
| more. Annual subscriptions cost $79.99.   
| 
| Comet sells a nice-looking Toshiba NB100-11R netbook that comes with "Linux". 
| It does not say which Linux, but the customer reviews reveal that it is 
| Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

| During CompuTex I found a possible answer to this at the side of my own 
| netbook, where I hung a 32 GByte Corsair Flash to make up for the fact that 
| my HP Mini came with just 2 Gbytes of main storage. (Shown is the 64 GByte 
| version.)   
| 
| Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zemlin, whom I met for the first time 
| at the show, did not need a Corsair on his HP Mini, and noted it came with  
| Ubuntu installed, from the HP online store.

| I am not sure whom the French military is attacking these days. (I am told
| that relations with British tourists are much improved.)
|
| But this morning I happened upon peculiar information while accidentally
| scanning the French paper Liberation.
