Industry inventory: supports parade of Linux laptops

Article title: industry check: Support for parade of Linux laptops. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Nowadays, with the popularity of Linux, many portable small laptops, including Asus Eee pc, MSI Wind pc, and Dell Ubuntu pc, have emerged. I have collected some information on preinstalled Linux versions. for others, please add them in comments.

OLPC is the first project to enter our field of view. this project is committed to popularizing the yuan notebook. Although OLPC was originally supporting the Ubuntu system, negropondi later believed that the persistence of the Linux system had hindered the popularization of the yuan notebook and scared many potential users. He also cited the fact that the latest Flash animation version is not supported by a hundred-dollar notebook, which is currently used by some websites for children and education. The OLPC will be available in yuan laptops that support both Windows and Linux systems. This may cause the yuan laptop to eventually abandon Linux and switch completely to Windows. This is undoubtedly a disappointing move for many supporters of a hundred-dollar notebook. This is because OLPC insisted on using the Linux system and supported hundreds of yuan of laptops.

Dell is a loyal partner of Ubuntu

Dell is a loyal partner of Ubuntu. after launching multiple pre-installed Ubuntu computers. This is not the case. recently, Dell launched an ultra-portable notebook with the new version of the iPhone 910. although Dell has not provided details yet, foreign media have released a picture of running the Linux system on this notebook. We can see that the Windows 910 operating system runs Ubuntu 8.04 Linux. The Intel Atom processor is configured. According to the previous introduction, the Intel Atom N270 processor is configured for the Intel 910 instance with a clock speed of 1.6 GHz. it works with the Intel 945GSE chipset and uses 512 MB/1 GB DDR2 memory.

The configured 8.9 inch display resolution is 1024*600. It has three USB interfaces and a 3-in-1 card reader interface. it has interfaces such as VGA, RJ45, and earphone microphone. you can select a 4 GB, 8 GB, or 16 gb ssd. It has a wireless network card and an Ethernet network card. Configure the 1.3 million-pixel and 0.3 million-pixel cameras with the Ubuntu 8.04 operating system or Windows XP operating system. The weight of the 4-core lithium-ion battery is 0.99 kg.

Microstar's WindPC

Which Linux version is pre-installed on MSI's Wind pc? MSI will use the Enterprise version based on Novel SUSE, which is similar to Windows. you can get started quickly. Second, Novel is a big company with excellent technical support and driving support. Users can provide good technical support. Some companies have released their own Linux systems for their products, but driver support is a big problem. Of course, MSI also provides independent software based on SUSE.

Asus EeePC

Asus Eee PC is a mobile Internet product that allows you to send and receive emails at any time to make your work more efficient. The Asus Eee PC uses a 7 inch-inch screen with a resolution of 800x480. It is designed based on Intel mobile processor and chipset and uses a low-voltage 512 MHz Sai Yang processor with a working frequency of 2/4 MHz. it has a built-in 960 MB/1 GB memory,/8 GB flash space, and integrates Intel graphics card, built-in 0.3 million pixel camera and 802.11b/g wireless network card. The size of the Asus Eee PC is 22.5x16.5x2.1 ~ 3.5, weighing about 0.89. The standard 4-core 4400/5200 mAh lithium battery has a endurance of about 3 hours.

It comes with Xandros Linux, which has a certain gap with Ubuntu in terms of functionality and ease of use. maybe the just-released Ubuntu Eee 8.04 is a very unnecessary choice. Ubuntu Eee 8.04 is a version based on Ubuntu 8.04 (hard Heron). it inherits many advantages of Ubuntu 8.04 (hard Heron) and adds and deletes some applications, to better apply to the Asus Eee PC. However, Xandros Linux also has its advantages. I believe that Asus chose this Linux, which also has its underlying reasons.
