Canonical Talks Netbook Remix Details

Posted by timothy on from the smart-niche dept.

geekinchief points to a just-posted interview at Laptop Magazine "with Canonical's market manager, Gerry Carr, where he talks about Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Some interesting details: Canonical does not plan to make the Netbook remix available for download or sale. It will only come pre-installed on new systems. It will boot in 5-10 seconds."

    Canonical does not plan to make the Netbook remix available for download or sale Not true. The won't make them available as ISOs ready for installation (since apparently they don't recommend it), but the packages can be downloaded from Launchpad.

    eeeXubuntu works fine for me for several months now.

    You don't need a company, a community is more than enough.
