The Proliferation of Linux

Canonical recently unveiled its version of Ubuntu for sub-notebooks, Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR).  Laptop magazine has an interesting interview with Gerry Carr, marketing manager at Canonical, on the new Atom-powered OS.

• UNR will only be available pre-installed
• UNR will not be available as a ready ISO for end users, rather it is meant for OEMs
• OEMs can customize the UI, if they wish.
