last100: Linux on a Netbook? Intel thinks its all about the User Interface

  • tk · 6 months ago
    Between this, Easy Peasy and Jolicloud, I think netbooks with Linux has actually got a fair chance of retaining market share. What is needed is proper marketing, more spesifically proper positioning. I think the Linux Pundit blog put it best "Up from phones, not down from notebooks": http://linuxpundit.wordpress.com/2009/05/18/up-...

    I like that phrase: "Up from phones, not down from notebooks". My sister just bought an Acer Aspire One running Linux (Linpus Lite). I told her it would be different from XP or Mac OSX and might take a bit of getting used to. It's also priced low, and could be replaced in 18 months (less than $200 for a refurb unit). She said: "get used to it like a new mobile phone". I said, exactly.
