Netbooks and where the future takes them
,----[ Quote ]
| Check the operating system. If you can find a
| netbook with linux, I recommend that one,
| since it's cheaper, and then you can install
| whatever you want, without extra costs for
| windows.

10 Questions To Ask About Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| Novell and other members of the Linux
| community have worked very hard with Intel to
| ensure compatible Linux drivers were available
| before netbooks went into production. The
| result: Solid Linux options for every
| manufacturer, with some offering pre-loads of
| Novell SUSE or Ubuntu Remix for netbooks. In
| addition, Intel has released its own Moblin
| (Mobile Linux) for the netbook. And the ever-
| hyped Google Chrome OS, for which open source
| code is now available, is aimed at netbooks.
| Google envisions it as a Web-centric
| complement to another PC.

Linux Is Regaining Netbook Market Share Quickly
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite this ABI Research published some
| new data last month and the results may
| surprise you. They place the 2009 market
| share for Linux on netbooks at 32% with 11
| million units preloaded with Linux shipping
| this year. In an interview with
| DesktopLinux.com, Jeffrey Orr of ABI makes
| clear that dial boot machines (i.e.: the
| Acer Aspire One AOD250-1613) and machines
| that are purchased with Windows but later
| have Linux loaded do not count in the 32%
| number. That number is pure Linux sales.
| This data confirms comments made first by
| Jay Pinkert and later by Todd Finch of Dell
| that one third of their netbooks sales are
| Linux machines and that there is no higher
| return rate for Linux systems than there is
| for ones sold with Windows preloaded.
