Linpus Linux Lite OS caught on video
,----[ Quote ]
| We just came across this video showing the Linpus Linux Lite OS in action.
| Aimed squarely at netbooks and the Splashtop crowd, the operating system
| comes to life pretty quickly on the pictured Acer Aspire One. Unlike
| Splashtop, however, this isn't part of the BIOS, "just a very very minimal
| customized Linux version, installed on the hard disk," as the guy in the
| video points out

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.

Linux Carried Along on Netbooks Wave
,----[ Quote ]
| Morvay revealed to Linux Magazine Online that there were no specific figures
| for Linux netbook sales, but that it lay somewhere in the 40th percentile.
| Even though this figure seems a little high, it is known that many of the
| world's netbooks have Linux on board since their first inception 18 months
| ago.
|
| For example, notebooks with Linux make up about 5.5% of the notebook market
| in Germany...
