Free Netbook OSes
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu Netbook Remix
|
| Also known as Ubuntu Netbook Edition, this
| is one of the earliest and best known
| netbook-optimized OSes. UNR basically
| contains optimizations for Intel Atom
| processors which are used in most netbooks
| today, as well as a new application
| launcher and other tweaks that make it
| easier to use on small screens. However
| itâs still very recognizable as a full
| Linux OS and nothing is stripped out, as
| opposed to other oversimplified PDA-style
| interfaces with icons for programs and
| nothing deeper.

iPad falls short on cloud integration
,----[ Quote ]
| Somewhat to my surprise, I'm equally as
| excited about the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04
| (Lucid) release for netbooks as I am by the
| iPad. The iPad is not yet a netbook-killer.

AppleâS Ipad And Its Operating Function
,----[ Quote ]
| The huge problem is that there is no
| multithreading technology. This means that
| your $600+ tablet computer can only run one
| application at a time just like your
| iPhone. For some who like multitasking
| while using a computer this is a big let
| down. Even the cheapest sub $300 netbooks
| running Linux can handle multiple
| applications at one time and that hardware
| is quite a bit less powerful than what the
| iPad has.

Google Android fonts now available on a netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| So the Android operating system seems to be
| catching on with many folks these days in a
| myriad of devices, so why not adorn your
| little netbook with fonts from the Google
| Android OS instead? Developed by Ascender
| Corporationâs Steve Matteson, this custom
| family of fonts including Droid Sans, Droid
| Sans Mono, and Droid Serif are sure to
| spruce up your netbook whenever you type
| out a geeky document.

etbooks are Alive and Well
,----[ Quote ]
| Most businesses would be very happy with
| 33% year over year growth in units shipped.
| The panic/hype that the iPad will somehow
| damage netbooks is silly. Lower the price
| and there will be new surge in salesâ Oh.
| You will have to dump that other OS to
| lower the price. Use GNU/Linux. It works
| better and costs less. Let the folks with
| too much cash buy the iPad. The rest of us
| will be able to afford two netbooks running
| GNU/Linux instead of one iPad. We can use
| one and give the other to a friend.

Hands-on: Ben NanoNote Micronotebook
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ben has OpenWrt-based Linux with an ash
| console, BusyBox and the opkg package
| manager. Connecting the mini-USB cable
| provides USB network connectivity. The
| dmesg kernel ring buffer command that it
| registers as highspeed USB device with the
| cdc_ether (communications device class, or
| CDC) kernel module. The kernel version is
| 2.6.32 and the images are often newly
| built, which the NanoNotes changelog
| explains. The last version (image
| 2010-03-26) added Python, PHP 5, make,
| OpenVPN and tcpdump. The new image can be
| updated via software or hardware or USB
| boot. The latter is great for tinkerers,
| but more than tedious for end-users. For
| us, a couple of circuit board connections
| shorted out while removing the battery.
