Linux on Netbooks - Hope for the Future
,----[ Quote ]
| But I still suspect that "Vista with
| Lipstick" will not work as well as a good
| Linux distribution on typical netbook
| hardware. Even more importantly, while
| Microsoft has been busy the past couple of
| years trying to put the lipstick on Vista,
| various Linux groups have been improving
| netbook-specific versions. The result is
| things like Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10, which
| I think is rather nice (and a huge
| improvement over UNR 9.04), Moblin, which I
| absolutely hate but apparently it is very
| good for other types of users, and the KDE
| netbook version, which is still in early
| development but the early versions of it on
| Mandriva and Kubuntu look very interesting.

Intel talks Linux, netbooks and rivalry with ARM
,----[ Quote ]
| [As a] release from an open-source perspective,
| it's a milestone more than it is a product release â
| product releases come from OS vendors and OEMs [manufacturers].
| Soon you will start to see OEMs shipping netbooks with Moblin.
| You will see an announcement over the
| next week or two.

New 2-GHz ARM Chip Heads for Linux Devices
,----[ Quote ]
| Embedded core designer ARM Ltd. on Wednesday announced
| a 2-GHz version of its Cortex-A9 microprocessor that may
| eventually appear in smartphones and smartbooks.

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.
