Foxconn Linux netbook hits the FCC
,----[ Quote ]
| Foxconn is a Taiwanese OEM that makes computers
| that are rebranded and sold under different
| company monikers. So I donât expect to see the
| Foxconn SZ901P hit US shelves anytime soon, at
| least not under that name. But the FCC has
| published documents related to a netbook under
| that name.
|
| The one interesting thing about the Foxconn
| netbook is that it supports Windows XP as well
| as a custom Linux distribution called FoxOS,
| which includes a dock-style program launcher.

| Will ARM-based netbooks retail for under Â100? The Taiwanese contract
| manufacturer behind the Foxconn brand seems to think so.

| A Hon Hai Precision staffer - one Young Liu, special assistant to the company's
| CEO - admitted this week that "we have a few smartbook projects and I think there
| is demand for these sub-$200 devices".

Foxconn, ACPI fail, and leaving money on the table
,----[ Quote ]
| It's cheaper to support Linux than to add support for another proprietary OS.
| For ACPI, just read one paper and avoid Linux-specific tests. For most
| hardware, somebody please throw the Linux Driver Project a boneâthere's a
| long list of driver developers waiting for one of the rare unsupported
| devices.
