Mandriva Joins Ubuntu With a Linux For Netbooks

Posted by timothy on from the good-ideas-love-to-travel dept.

Slatterz writes "Linux publisher Mandriva has unveiled a version of its platform designed specifically for the new breed of mini laptops. Mandriva Mini features a fast boot-up, comprehensive connectivity support and multimedia codecs, and is adapted to work on key netbook platforms such as Intel's Atom. Mandriva previously offered a customised version of its 2008 Spring release for the Asus Eee PC, and was a distributor of Linux for Intel's Classmate PC initiative."

    Recent statistics show that there are 19 Mandriva users left. Approximately 200 of those netbooks will be sold so Mandriva usage is expected to increase by more than 1000%.

    Way to go, Mandriva people!
