Maximum PC Primer: Lightweight Netbook Computing with Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| These days, netbooks have become a very popular alternative to 
| conventional notebooks for mobile computing. Netbooks are 
| lightweight, have great battery life, and are relatively 
| inexpensive compared to full-sized notebooks. This makes them 
| ideal for students or people on a budget. Of course, the lower 
| cost and extended battery life does not come without a trade-offâ
| many netbooks have lower system specs as well, which means that 
| they are not designed for heavy-computing applications.

| Embedded core designer ARM Ltd. on Wednesday announced
| a 2-GHz version of its Cortex-A9 microprocessor that may

Linux Foundation the latest in ARM's web of mobile alliances

,----[ Quote ]
| ARM, whose processor designs are used in the vast
| majority of mobile devices, is increasingly becoming
| a power broker in the mobile web world, allying with
| a range of larger partners to create an open platform
| that is geared to the ARM architecture, rather
| than Intel's x86. The latest is the Linux
| Foundation, the non-profit organization that
| recently took on responsibility for Intel's own
| Linux system, Moblin.
