Ubuntu on a notebook is officially unveiled

Article title: Ubuntu on a small notebook is officially unveiled. 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.

The so-called "small notebook" refers to the small size (the so-called "small one") of the laptop, easy to carry, mobile that computer. The man-machine interface of this computer should have new features, which are compact, eye-catching and attractive to people. In June 3, at the computer exhibition in Taipei (Computex 2008), the Ubuntu8.04 (LTS) on this notebook was officially unveiled as "Remix", and people were surprised (stunned. Great!

The so-called "small notebook" refers to the small size (the so-called "small one") of the laptop, easy to carry, mobile that computer. The man-machine interface of this computer should have new features, which are compact, eye-catching and attractive to people. In June 3, at the computer exhibition in Taipei (Computex 2008), the Ubuntu8.04 (LTS) on this notebook was officially unveiled as "Remix", and people were surprised (stunned. Great!

As early as last June, I heard that "mobile Ubuntu" ("MobileUbuntu") was to be developed and prepared to work with Intel's new energy-saving CPU. Everyone is looking forward to this. Nowadays, Asus's "Eee" notebook is popular all over the world. Therefore, the pure free software "tumobileedition" ("mobile Ubuntu version") must be expected by many hardware vendors. I did not really think that running Ubuntu on this notebook looks so clever and cute (Note: See the article "Handson with the Netbook Remix ). What is its innovation? The human-machine interface of Ubuntu (Remix) on a small notebook is actually designed based on the GNOME desktop environment. The core of the Remix human-machine interface is a custom "Launcher" ("first interface upon startup"), which is similar to the interface mode of Asus. This interface is very easy to operate and effective ("finger-friendly "). Don't underestimate this "Launcher". there are many clever points in it. it uses C programming and the new "Clutter" graphic interface library. It can be said that the implementation of Launcher is completed by the Ubuntu master NeilPatel, who now works for Canonical (formal employee ).

The Launcher boot interface also contains a very unusual "window switch", which can be used to enlarge the buttons for clarity. In short, there are new things in the mobile Ubuntu interface, which makes people "Put It Easy ". Mobile Ubuntu not only has a bright face, but also has made great efforts to support the hardware in the small notebook field. Mobile Ubuntu particularly supports Intel's Atom processor, which works closely together. What does this mean? The future of mobile Ubuntu is the preferred operating system for Internet mobile access devices. This is something that everyone knows. Mobile Ubuntu and Nokia work together to launch Ubuntuarm port technology. MarkShuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu, recently said that mobile computing is the next priority development project for Ubuntu8.10. He gave great attention and expectation to mobile Ubuntu. At present, the mobile Ubuntu on a small notebook is just a baby swarm. It is being born, indicating that a new change is about to begin. Ubuntu's overall strategy is to first occupy the desktop and then penetrate into servers and Internet access devices. Mobile Ubuntu, with a major historical mission, will bring the fruits of free software to the side of each of us. We are looking forward to the success of Moving Ubuntu!
