Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Edition On My Dell Mini 10 v

,----[ Quote ]
| So how does the netbook edition look on my 
| dell mini ? Amazing ! The icons/interface 
| look better  and the interface setup is 
| perfect for the small screen estate of the 
| netbook. The old 8.04 ubuntu version was 
| boring , and this version is alive and 
| makes me want to use the netbook even 
| more. The 8.04 version doesnât have an 
| update OS feature compared to the later 
| releases so itâs best to upgrade to a  
| later version or 9.10. I can see why a lot 
| of netbook ubuntu users are upgrading to 
| the netbook version , it simply rocks !

Linux vs Windows 7

,----[ Quote ]
| And this is where Linux can make a big difference. There's nothing in Windows
| 7 that Linux can't do, and in most cases, do it better. Our machines are
| quicker and more efficient. Our desktops are more innovative and less static.
| Our apps are more powerful, cheaper and less partisan, and Linux security has
| never been better. But best of all, we have complete control over the future
| of Linux, and it's success or failure at the hands of Windows 7 is in our
| hands.

Seven things Windows 7 can learn from Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| 1. More frequent release cycles. As Iâve already explained, Microsoftâs worst
| enemy has been its very long release cycles. Linux distributors, on the other
| hand, have the opposite problem â too frequent release cycles. But what would
| a consumer be more interested in, an operating system thatâs eight years old
| (Windows XP) or one thatâs updated every year or even six months? Fresh
| product releases means fresh marketing and Microsoft knows this. From Windows
| 7 on itâs bye, bye many-year release cycles and hello two year cycles at the
| most.
