Online in seconds flat: Quick-starting operating systems 

,----[ Quote ]
| Second, he notes, many of the quicker 
| operating systems, which tend to run on 
| Linux, are less exposed to attacks than 
| Windows, and hence fundamentally somewhat 
| more secure. That last statement has lost 
| some of its punch with the advent of Windows 
| 7, however, which is better than its 
| predecessors in this regard.

| The Asus Eee PC 1201T takes a leaf out of the
| HP Mini 110-1106vu's book by coming with a

Lenovo Skylight smartbook hands-on impressions

,----[ Quote ]
| The Skylight runs on a custom Linux kernel and
| Kang noticed that the device lagged when
| having more than 9 apps open in the
| background. Playing back YouTube wasnât smooth
| either, despite having the ability to play
| Flash, this is likely to be fixed before
| launch. The built-in 3G sim card slot is
| welcome along with the HDMI port.
