Mandriva Joins the Netbook Market With the GDium

AdamWill writes "Lately it's hard to avoid the buzz about netbooks — the small, cheap laptop systems that were popularized by the Asus Eee PC. Mandriva is providing the innovative operating system for the upcoming GDium netbook system, produced by Emtec. The first GDium will be a netbook with a 10", 1024x600 resolution display and a battery life of four hours, weighing in at 1.1kg. The innovative G-Key system stores the Mandriva operating system and all the user data on a USB key — nothing is permanently stored inside the GDium. You can use your own desktop and data by plugging the G-Key into any GDium."

Mandriva is the system what needs Linux OS

[Fri13]

Linux is the OS
Mandriva is the complete system
The system works because of Linux
Check the facts, type "sysinfo:/" to konqueror address bar and you get system information.
Type "uname" to CLI and you get OS name what follows POSIX standard.
So Mandriva is the OS but it is just a small part of complete system :)

So, we talk about Mandriva Linux here, what is great Linux distribution and I'm going to buy small laptop where I can install Mandriva, currently 2008 Spring in use.
