Get a Linux-powered Dell laptop for $299
CNET News
gotcha! Those aren’t caveats at all. Just wanted to see if you were paying attention. The real consideration for most buyers is that the Inspiron 15n runs on Ubuntu Linux 8. 10–a great operating system by all accounts but no good if you need to run Windows apps. (I know I know there’s always.

The path forward for Linux is child’s play
CNET News
As for Ubuntu it’s an even tighter user experience (though to be fair to Moblin it’s still in beta and so many of its rough edges will be smoothed over by general release I assume). This isn’t surprising given. It doesn’t require any specialized knowledge of Linux though it does give the user too much information on what’s happening under the hood.
The Goode Family gets gooder with episodes two and three
TV Squad
The second and third episodes presented very funny situations that challenged the family to face their beliefs in the context of the rest of the world and even within their own family. It also expanded on some of the characters’ behaviors and motivations and made them seem like more than just a gaggle of granola-eating hippies. The first episode features the Goode’s adopted South African son Ubuntu getting his big shot on the high school football team an episode that seemed very promising since the title alone “Pleatherheads” made me laugh. I’m a sucker for a funny title. That probably explains why I also like porn sort of. Ubuntu becomes the team’s star tight end and almost immediately becomes the star player because he can create the kind of blockage that only a Double Quarter Pounder value meal can replicate. This brings Helen’s red state father Charlie from behind the curtain and unveils some of the motivations that can turn Helen into a jabbering mental patient.
Sun Boosts penSolaris n Networking Virtualization
InformationWeek
The new release is called penSolaris 2009. 6 a nomenclature that borrows from Ubuntu’s practice of using the year and month of the year that a new release comes out.
The top four Linux netbook trends
Computerworld
f these Linux distributors while Ubuntu has the most buzz it looks like Novell has the lead in actually getting contracts signed with EMs (original equipment manufacturers). The giant white-box PC vendor.
penSolaris Still Shines
InformationWeek
(It’s not as if the disk is churning during most of the boot process either. What’s it doing?)What comes to mind most readily though is not what Sun would be doing with Solaris — but rather what a third party with greater ambitions might do with it. Canonical for instance: what if they started experimenting with an Ubuntu derivate that used Solaris as its bedrock instead of Linux? They’d benefit from having a much stabler and industrial-strength base and still be able to deploy all of the userland software we know and love. Still gotta do something about that boot time though. InformationWeek Analytics has published an independent analysis of the current state of open source adoption.
Android Apps on … Ubuntu?
InformationWeek
I guess it really all is about the programs (stupid). Android’s a maverick platform in several ways: it’s based on the Linux kernel but runs a custom Java engine and sports enough other differences that running Android apps anywhere but on Android is problematic.
