Virtualizing Your Desktop: Unavoidable.

,----[ Quote ]
| Along the way, a Unix mime was built called 
| Linux, then added to a soup of utilities 
| (GNU) and UIs (KDE, Gnome, among others).
| 
| Now there are operating environments like 
| Google's ChromeOS and Android.... not to 
| mention Symbian, Palm, and a half dozen 
| others. Virtualization breaks the rule that 
| existed from RT-11 to just a few years ago 
| in the microcomputer world: one operating 
| system per machine. That idea that became a 
| rule was a boon for hardware makers and 
| operating systems licensors alike. Now that 
| rule is broken by the advancement of 
| hypervisors and desktop hypervisors.
| 
| There are few individuals in IT today that 
| can escape knowing at least three major 
| operating trees, starting with Unix, 
| Windows, and to a lesser extent, MacOS. 
| There are dozens of variants. More than a 
| dozen sit on the machine I'm using to write 
| this-- like ducks in a row. Just click and 
| in a few seconds, I'm in OpenSUSE or 
| Windows Server 2008 R2, or in Android. It's 
| that easy.

Open source nettop designed from survey requests

,----[ Quote ]
| The Open-PC project, which developed an 
| open source Linux PC based on community 
| survey requests, says its KDE-flavored 
| nettop will ship next month. The Open-PC is 
| equipped with a 1.6GHz dual-core Atom N330 
| with 3GB RAM, but the nettop's high $500 
| price has stirred some controversy.

Buying a Linux Laptop ...

,----[ Quote ]
| I was really having fun! At one site, I found a
| laptop with Windows 7 installed, but also with a
| selection to have none and an instant price-
| reduction when the âNo OSâ choice was made. That
| felt good!
|
| I finally found a computer which met all my
| needs; weight, size, quality of hardware and
| Ubuntu installed (one of many choices) at
| LinuxCertified.
|
| I hope others will join me in buying your next
| computer this way. You will find competitive
| prices and the satisfaction of not paying the
| Windows tax.
