XCore's EduBook, a Netbook That Runs on AA Batteries
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, it runs Linux.
|
| Before diving in to anything else, note
| that this is a laptop built for running
| Linux; the one I'm using is running Ubuntu
| 9.4 (Jaunty), and others that I played with
| briefly on the show floor were running
| instead Barry Kauer's lightweight (around
| 100MB by default) Puppy Linux. Though
| Puppy's quite a nice OS, I stuck with
| Ubuntu on the EduBook, because that's what
| I'm most used to.
