For Netbook Users - Which Linux?

If you are a Windows Xp user, you're forgiven if you don't know that within the term "Linux", there are in effect any other types Linux operating systems. As the netbook grows and as more buyers opt for the economy Linux models, it is leading to note what type of Linux has been installed on your netboook.

A version of the Linux operating principles is in effect called a "distribution". The first netbook constructor to make Linux accessible for everyday users was Asus, who incidentally started the whole netbook craze when it introduced the Eee Pc line of laptops.

Eee Pc On Xandros

If you're using an Eee Pc, then you are using the Xandros distribution of Linux. Xandro is an easy to use principles with built-in applications needed for working, communicating and playing with your desktop. It installs on computers in just four clicks.

Dell Mini 9 On Ubuntu

Ubuntu is in effect best used on desktops and servers but Dell has it on its Dell Mini 9. It's hard to say though if Dell Linux users are happy with their netbooks. On the moving side, Canonical, the legal industrial sponsor of Ubuntu, recently showed off netbooks running on Ubuntu Netbook Remix, a Linux distribution that allows netbook users to turn their netbooks into touchscreen tablet Pcs.

Msi Wind On Sled

Msi surprisingly fits its Linux models with Novell's Suse Linux firm Desktop (Sled), which is in effect one of the best Linux distribution around. Unlike the funky user-interface of Xandros, Sled is a no-nonsense, top-notch Operating principles made specifically for non-technical users. However, Msi wind Linux users have been found four times more likely to return their netbooks than Windows Xp users. The cause is apparently a blend of these factors: (a) the buyers were former Windows Xp users who are so used to Microsoft's appropriate user-interface, (b) compatibility issues in the middle of Os and peripheries like the web camera.

If you have been a Windows Xp user all your life, it might be moving to switch to Linux. It in effect has nothing to do with Linux. Many computer users are so used to using Windows, it's difficult to convert paradigms and seek how a Linux netbook (depending on its distribution), should be used.

At any rate,if you want a garage computer that is malware and virus-free, give Linux netbooks a chance.
