Acer Aspire One D150 - Mini-review and Ubuntu 9.04 install

,----[ Quote ]
| I've had an AAO D150 for 5 days now and I have to say that I'm entirely happy 
| with it - my only complaint is that I wish I'd had more time to spend on it! 
| 
| The unit itself comes put of the box with the usual manuals but does expect 
| you to burn the reinsallation and drivers disks yourself. I've always though 
| that this is a rather mean policy when you're selling a device that doesn't 
| include an optical drive, but maybe that's just me.   
| 
| [...]
| 
| My over-all impressions of the unit are that is is well built, well spec'ed 
| and very smooth to use. Exactly what I was looking for!

Five Best Netbooks

,----[ Quote ]
| As we emphasized above, if you're fired up to go netbook shopping after 
| perusing the Hive Five (or reading the 127th article about them in the tech 
| press), make sure to pay attention to the details. In a world of fairly 
| standardized 1.6GHz processors and 1.3MP webcams, it's the little details—the 
| spacing of the keys, layout of the USB ports—that really make the difference 
| in how comfortable your mini-mini-computer will be in actual use. If you 
| can't get to a brick and mortar store to actually play around with the 
| machines, try searching Google for comparison reviews and images of your top 
| few choices. Many gadget and laptop review sites have pictures of comparable 
| laptops stack on top of each other, side by side, and so forth so you can see 
| if that extra .5" really matter to you.

math: Windows 7 + netbook = failure - GNU/Linux as remaining winner!

,----[ Quote ]
| Windows XP is basically gone, so an OEM license is worth 20 USD for a
| manufacturer, no problem at all. Windows 7 for Netbooks is the same as all
| other Windows 7 variants - no lean, light, vlighted, 7lited or whatever. Just
| a Starter version like in Windows Vista which gives you the "power" to run
| maximum 3 applications at the same time. Where again is the advantage? Oh
| yes, now Windows 7 Starter crippled edition costs a bit more than 20 USD for
| OEM, I would say around 99 USD after discounts, tax not included or did you
| think MS stops earning money?

Microsoft’s Windows 7 May Not Cure Netbook Headache

,----[ Quote ]
| This time, as Microsoft readies Windows 7, the company is planning a basic
| version, as well as more expensive editions that are also targeted at
| netbooks. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said last week that he will make sure
| consumers can “trade up.”
|
| ‘Pessimistic’
|
| Many netbook buyers won’t go for it, because they want the cheapest option
| possible, said John DiFucci, the JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst who asked the
| question that prompted Ballmer’s comment. That means investors shouldn’t
| expect Microsoft to make much more money on netbook software, the New
| York-based analyst said in a note to clients. Microsoft hasn’t released
| specific prices for the different versions of Windows 7.
|
| “I don’t know that there’s much room to charge more than what’s been charged
| currently,” said Michael Cherry, an analyst at Directions on Microsoft in
| Kirkland, Washington. “I’m pessimistic about this.”
