The Raspberry Pi is a $25 to $35 computer that's about the size of a deck of cards.

Fuduntu is a light weight operating system designed for netbooks and other portable computers. The operating system is based on Fedora Linux, but as the name suggests it should feel reasonably familiar to Ubuntu Linux users as well. This weekend Fuduntu 14.9 was released, bringing support for Google's Chromium 9 web browser and the Adobe Flash 10.2 plugin. Neither of...

But just because Ubuntu has been in the limelight for the past few years doesn't mean that Fedora has gone anywhere. In fact, the group has just released Fedora 14.

5-second boot coming to netbooks?

Brad Linder — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:41:08 +0000

Boot time matters, especially when it comes to laptops and netbooks. Today, when you pull a netbook out of your bag and hit the power button, it can take anywhere from 25 seconds to 2 minutes to load a working Windows or Linux desktop.
