Canonical brings forth remixed version of Ubuntu for “Netbooks” called... Remix E-mail

The idea of that launcher reminds me of the one found on the Xandros Linux powered Eee PC.

Canonical are promising that Ubuntu Netbook Remix will “enable device manufacturers to get to market rapidly with a compelling software solution on netbooks, as they have a standard user interface (UI) that is built on a widely used operating system underpinned by a globally recognised brand”, while also working with “ISVs to ensure that popular desktop applications are certified on Ubuntu, and will run on the Ubuntu Netbook Remix.”

Canonical also realises that many more people will experience Linux for the first time through a Netbook device, of which we will see many unveiled at Computex for sale later in 2008, and has leveraged “Moblin technologies optimized for the Intel Atom processor”.

Intel and Canonical have begun working together “to create a next generation computing experience across a new category of affordable Internet-centric, portable devices; including Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), netbooks, nettops and embedded devices based on Intel Atom processor technology. Canonical is a founding contributor to Moblin and will continue to work with Intel to ensure the best open source applications become available to users and OEMs through Moblin.”
