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.

    Probably for most users, Ubuntu is the best distribution for their situation (if they've fixed the wi-fi hassle, that is), or at least as good as any other options. Expert users will have a better idea what distro they need, but they're probably not looking for an alternative to Windows.

    Since Ubuntu seems pretty serious about ushering in the Year of the Linux Desktop, yes, we may be soon seeing millions of clueless Ubuntu users.
