It measures 8 inches by 8 inches--a mini system--but it packs some powerful features and is available with Ubuntu Linux pre-loaded. Dell's Zino HD Desktop computers sell for $230. For that you 8GB of RAM, you can choose from one of ten colors, you get discrete graphics, and you get some notable HD and entertainment-oriented options. It's good to see the world's number two PC supplier shipping Ubuntu on a desktop computer in addition to shipping it on netbooks and laptops.
So rumor has it that Google's Chrome OS, which had been slated to arrive some time next year, is about to arrive as a beta release. As I pointed out this morning, netbooks based on it may help preserve open source influence on a hot hardware category, but is Chrome OS likely to be a smash hit?
The announcement last week of a Linux-based smartbook from Lenovo was just one of several signs I'm seeing that Linux will maintain a foothold in emerging portable computing categories, including netbooks and smartbooks.

There has to be a coupon debit-like card with $300 to $600 that can only be used via schools and/or online vendors for the parents to purchase low cost linux powered laptop computers? But it has to be able to run Windows XP Home Ediition as another choice besides Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, or Debian.

New to Linux and I just got a Linux Asus EeePC and am looking for a email previewer similar to Eprompter which I have used on Win XP machines before. Something that allows me to view and delete email without downloading it to my computer.
Thanks!
I would like to write multiple flavours of Linux in one DVD and be able to install one of the images from the DVD menu, during boot from DVD. Is there a (closed or open source) way to create a multiboot DVD?
