Thin clients and the cloud: how ARM beat x86 to the punch
,----[ Quote ]
| On the first day of CES, I dropped by the
| Qualcomm booth looking for ARM-based
| smartbooks to try out. As I poked and
| prodded the Lenovo Skylight, I pulled out
| my Nexus One and dropped it on top of the
| unit for a size reference so that we could
| snap picture of it.

Netbook OS

| Slackware is one of the longest-running
| versions of Linux. And Slax is a version of
| Slackware that is meant to be run as a live
| CD but can also be used comfortably on a
| netbook. The base download of Slax is just
| 200MB in size. Slax' most unique feature,
| however, is that the system can be
| customised before downloading. On the Slax
| site you can pick and choose features you
| want to include in your system and then
| download an image with this included.

ARM Seen as a Threat to Intel on the Mobile Front
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite the current developments and the latest
| advancements in x86 chips power efficiency,
| analysts seem to think that, even though Intel
| currently controls the netbook market with its
| new Atom chips, this dominance may be short
| lived. ABI Research suggests that the ARM
| architecture may make a strong incursion into
| this segment, likely taking away most of the
| mobile market share from Intel's units.
