Mark Shuttleworth Reveals Ubuntu Netbook Remix

Posted by timothy on from the would-be-nicer-than-xandros-for-me dept.

Glyn Moody writes "In an interview with the Guardian today, Mark Shuttleworth talks about the upcoming Ubuntu Netbook Remix, a tailored version for ultraportables, produced in collaboration with Intel." The new version of Ubuntu is barely mentioned in this interview, but it's tantalizing -- SUSE looks nice on the HP Mininotes, but for people who are used to and enjoy Ubuntu, it's an option to look forward to.

  1. Dislike Ubuntu by zukinux · · Score: 1, Funny

    As a Linux user, I despise Ubuntu, I can't explain why, but I think it's too GUIsh along with other things like
    Not using conventions i.e (at least in the Ubuntu versions I've used) /sbin/dhcpcd doesn't exists.
    I prefer the slackware way of /etc/rc.d/rc.X instead of /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d/rc.(level)/rc.ssh?
    but there are few good things about Ubuntu, it made Linux and Open Source much better to new-comers, works almost always out of the box
    It's friendly (but silly IMhO) to people who migrate from Windows, and it's the greatest achievement made in the last few years. friendly OS for Windows migrating users.

    Sure why not, i'd just switch to Exherbo.

    OK, I Want to Try Exherbo

    No you don't.

    Yes I Do

    OK, maybe you do, but we don't particularly want you to try it because we don't want to deal with you whining when you find that absolutely nothing works.
