Love in Linux land
The outfit
behind Ubuntu, Canonical is announcing new partnerships with Intel, SanDisk,
and RealNetworks. It is looking like the outfit will be demonstrating the
Moblin version of the Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
Using beta code from
Intel the Moblin version is not going to be made public yet, but when Moblin
2 is out then Canonical will go public. Intel has said that it wants to have
Moblin 2 out by Christmas. UNR is designed for OEMs and will make it
easier for them to ship Ubuntu-powered, Intel Atom-based
netbooks.
Currently OEMS are shying away from Linux and are opting for
Windows XP. Some are looking to Windows 7. However with Ubuntu working
closer with Intel and co it might make a come back.
