Acer Denies Chrome OS Netbook Coming at Computex
,----[ Quote ]
| Acer has officially denied rumors that
| said it would show its first netbooks
| running Chrome OS at the upcoming Computex
| show in Taipei next month. The denial
| comes a few days after Acer spokespeople
| earlier declined to comment on the rumors,
| which first appeared on the tech business
| blog VentureBeat.
|

|
| Google is also working on a netbook
| version of the Android operating system as
| well, and Acer has committed to an Android
| netbook, so it had been unclear how the PC
| maker would have differentiated between an
| Android netbook and Chrome OS netbook. For
| Google's part, at least, the search
| leader's co-founder, Sergey Brin, has said
| that eventually, Google plans to converge
| Android and Chrome OS into a single
| platform for netbooks.

Linux Netbook Operating systems â A list

| It is a proven fact that most Linux operating

| the netbooks now. That is why, it makes

| operating system. We have compiled a list of
| compatible distros for the netbooks which
| support the hardware of the netbooks; are
| easy to install and run at acceptable speed.
