Think ASUS netbooks threw Linux
out the window? Think again: the Eee PC 1001PXD, 1011PX and
1015PX are about to get Ubuntu configurations. Harking back to when the famous netbook line launched running
Xandros, these Ubuntu loaded machines could help Linux reach a larger audience. Canonical representatives are pitting the new netbooks against Windows-powered machines, telling
The Inquirer that Ubuntu is competing with Microsoft, not other Linux distributions. That's quite a goliath you picked there, Ubuntu. Are a trio of Atom notebooks enough to win the war on Windows? Considering
Dell abandoned their
love of
Linux over a year ago, we're guessing no.
