Netbooks are all the rage these days, but there is a constant debate around which OS to run. Microsoft has made a hard push to make Windows XP the OS of choice, Canonical has their Netbook Remix of Ubuntu out the door, and now Intel wants to try their hand with the Moblin OS. Read on to find my opinions / impressions of the newly released OS.
This past Mothers Day, we all pitched in and got Mom a netbook, specifically the Asus Eee PC 1000HE. I chose this model because it used the slightly faster Atom 280 processor and had a great battery, which they claim can last up to 9.5 hours. If it can get 2/3 of that, I’ll be satisfied. It came with Windows XP preinstalled, but my mom’s a mac user – she wouldn’t dare play with something as dirty as Windows XP. So I decided to give Ubuntu Netbook Remix a go! Read below for my thoughts.
I hope you all enjoy the blog!
From time to time, I’ll be posting my ruminations on technology, travel, finance, and anything else that may come to my mind. I hope my attempt at filling the interwebs with even more meaningless content enhances your day
