Ubuntu Goodness
Jan 16th
After installing Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my Dell 2100 I have once again fallen in love with Ubuntu. I am just blown away at how snappy and responsive it is even with just an Atom N270. The fact that this little netbook operates so well with such little hardware power is a hat tip to the wonder of Linux. I was even pleased at how easily the drivers were recognized and up and running. Other than the touch screen (which I am about to remedy) everything on this wonderful little machine just works. I think I might have a new favorite.
Down fall of UMPC – Cheap Netbooks
Apr 27th
I always wanted a UMPC and somehow never thought I would like Netbooks. My favorite UMPC was the OQO and its slick design. Well now it seems that the OQO is not going so well.
I think that the major reason for this shift is the power and affordableness of the new Netbooks. Lenovo, MSI, Dell, Asus, Acer, HP all have entries in this product category. I am sorry to see the OQO go but I am definitely interested in seeing the advancement of these netbooks.
