ViewSonic VNB101 review

,----[ Quote ]
| It runs Windows XP, but the ViewSonic VNB101 also has a version of Linux 
| installed that you can boot into quickly if you don't need to use anything more 
| than web-based applications.

Still a minute faster

,----[ Quote ]
| Back in March, I compared the load times for Windows XP and Fedora 10 on
| different hardware, and found that Linux booted about a minute faster. The
| fact that I had to run the test on different hardware was because I have to
| run Windows on my work laptop, but my wife happily runs Linux on her laptop
| at home. But it was still interesting that Linux booted faster on much older
| hardware (2005: IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T43, Intel Centrino CPU @ 1.86 GHz, 512MB
| memory) compared to the newer laptop running Windows (2008: Dell Latitude
| D430, Intel Core2 CPU @ 1.20GHz, 2GB memory).
