Amyâs Mobile Makeup â How She Does it

,----[ Quote ]
| I just got myself an Eee PC 900A.  I augmented 
| the RAM to bring it up to 1.5GB and am 
| considering a hard drive upgrade.  It was 
| running Xandros Linux, but I didnât like it 
| much.  So, I upgraded it to the Easy Peasy 
| Ubuntu Linux, made specifically to run on Eee 
| PCs.  It works for me.  I love this little 
| netbook.  It fits in my totebag.  It has Wi-
| fi.  Itâs great for using the web.   Would I 
| recommend one of these for just anyone?  No.  
| Itâs more of a âgeekâsâ netbook.  For everyone 
| else, I would get the Acer Aspire One netbook.

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.
