... but there are not many differences between most models. Some netbooks will have a slightly longer battery life, a different exterior, or a solid-state drive, but there are more similarities than differences.

Ubuntu 9.10 Is The Karmic Koala
Phoronix —
... for Plymouth integration in Ubuntu 9.10 . Beyond finally having an Ubuntu release with kernel mode-setting support (since Ubuntu 9.04 will not ship with Linux 2.6.29 that brings forth KMS), on the desktop front the Karmic Koala will also focus on netbook improvements. In the Ubuntu 9.10 announcement, Mark wants Ubuntu to be able to boot on netbooks in under 25 seconds with Jaunty and even faster with the Koala. Well, with our Ubuntu 9.04 benchmarks on a Samsung NC10 we already hit 21 seconds. Starting with Ubuntu 9.04, it's also a lot easier to ...

... the system faster as a whole, but is just taking time away prior to the user being able to log-in and push that work until after the log-in process or the graphical display manager is running. Until enabled by default, Speedboot can be used on the beta for Mandriva 2009.1 and later by adding "speedboot" to the GRUB's kernel configuration. We tested out Speedboot on the Mandriva 2009.1 beta with the same Intel netbook we used for other recent Linux boot articles. This netbook is the Samsung NC10 with an Intel Atom N270 CPU, ...

... an interesting Intel creation, but how does its performance compare to other mobile-focused Linux distributions? We have benchmarked Moblin V2 Alpha 2 and compared it against what is likely their biggest competitor in the mobile space, Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and the LPIA-based Ubuntu MID edition. Which of these mobile operating systems is the fastest? We hope to find out today.

Linux Foundation To Take Over Moblin Project
Phoronix —
... the Linux Foundation will now be the company behind Moblin . The Moblin project was started by Intel back in 2007 and has been used to push Linux onto their Atom processors , but it now appears they are handing the duties off to the Linux Foundation. This Linux distribution designed for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and netbooks will now be supported by the Linux Foundation.

Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook

Dell backs the Inspiron Mini 9 with a one-year limited warranty. What is not included with this netbook is any sleeve or small carrying case, like what there was with the Samsung NC10 netbook , which would have been nice to have with this Dell product. ...
