Operating Systems on the AAO

| Linux Netbook Manglement:
|
| Ubuntu Netbook Remix and Moblin were very 
| responsive, offered great battery life (about 2 
| hours with everything kicked on, and no 
| noticeable draining of the battery unless 
| viewing video or something similar), were 
| insanely stable, and supported all of the 
| hardware out-of-the-box.

Android and Chrome OS Look Poised to Accompany Other OSes

,----[ Quote ]
| Acer's Aspire One line of netbooks has
| been a huge hit, and the company continues
| to experiment with designs and software
| configurations. As the number of
| applications for Android has risen, it
| makes more and more sense for the
| operating system to run alongside Windows
| and various flavors of Linux. After all,
| Linux resides on many dual-OS systems, and
| Android is Linux-based.
