Linpus To Launch Moblin V2 OS Next Week
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in February we were first to share the news that Linpus was going to
| launch a QuickOS Linux operating system. They did that, but we can now also
| tell you that next week Linpus Technologies will be launching a new version
| of their Linpus distribution that is based upon Moblin V2. One of their
| representatives decided to send us the information early again, and so we
| have it for you now.

Forget Moblin! Ubuntu Netbook Remix rocks on the Classmate
,----[ Quote ]
| Why would I bother tweaking, fiddling with drivers, and otherwise goofing
| around with Moblin when Intel’s NBR image:
|
| 1. Is fast
| 2. Made great use of the small screen of the Classmate (sounding familiar
| yet?)
| 3. Worked with the touch screen, wireless, and all hardware out of the box
| 4. Came with software for taking notes with the stylus, handwriting
| recognition, and the same palm rejection that makes it so easy to write on
| the Windows version of the tablet
| 5. Came with Ubuntu’s familiarity and extensive software library
| 6. Is easily switchable back to a standard Gnome desktop interface

Linux To Regain 50% Netbook Market Share
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm sure some will dismiss Mr. Lim's projections as self-serving since Linpus
| is a Linux distributor heavily invested in the netbook market. It turns out
| Mr. Lim isn't alone in seeing Linux equal or even overtake Windows on
| netbooks. ABI Research sees it happening but they see it taking a bit longer
| than a year. They see Linux regaining dominance on netbooks by 2012. ABI
| cites the arrival of low-end ARM-based netbooks as part of the reason for a
| Linux resurgence. They also cite the arrival of Linux distributions designed
| for mobile devices, particularly Android and Moblin. Windows doesn't run on
| ARM processor based systems.
|
| While ARM has been getting lots of notice in the tech press a Spanish company
| called iUnika announced the first netbook with a MIPS processor (pictured).
| Linux already runs on MIPS processors. The support dates back to MIPS-powered
| SGI workstations running Linux back in the '90s. Windows, on the other hand,
| doesn't run on MIPS powered systems.
