Hands on with the MSI Wind U135 with Moblin Linux – Video

Brad Linder — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:22:30 +0000

I stopped by the MSI booth this afternoon and got a chance to check out the new MSI Wind U135 netbook running SUSE Linux with the Moblin user interface. This model will begin shipping in February, and Novell says SUSE has been optimized to boot in as little as 30 seconds. While the Moblin interface is full of widgets for...

MSI to offer SUSE/Moblin Linux on the Wind U135 netbook

Brad Linder — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:53:16 +0000

It looks like Windows 7 Starter Edition won't be the only OS available for the MSI Wind U135 netbook. Computer World reports that MSI will also offer a new version of SUSE Linux based on Moblin 2.1. Moblin offers a framework for a light weight Linux distribution optimized for netbooks with Intel Atom processors. It boots quickly and has a...

Novell joins Moblin Linux development

Brad Linder — Thu, 07 May 2009 23:17:19 +0000

[/caption] Novell, the company behind the SUSE Linux distribution, has thrown its hat in the Moblin development game. Moblin is a custom version of Linux optimized for mobile devices. The project was started by Intel, but the company handed the reigns over to the Linux Foundation in April. So what does Novell's involvement mean? First, the company says it will...

Novell sets up Linux netbook team in Taiwan

Brad Linder — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:58:50 +0000

The company behind the SUSE Linux distribution has set up a research and development team to coordinate with Taiwanese netbook vendors. While Ubuntu Linux and Linpus Linux Lite get a lot of attention for their work with netbook makers, SUSE is a popular distribution among enterprise users looking for corporate support for their Linux powered computers. HP and MSI have...

No plans for an ARM-based port of SUSE Linux

Brad Linder — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 21:43:02 +0000

SUSE is one of the more popular Linux distributions for enterprise users. A handful of netbooks including the HP Mini 2140, Lenovo Ideapad S10e and MSI Wind U90 come with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop as an option, and it runs well on mini-laptops with Intel Atom processors. But it's possible that a growing number of netbooks will be using low...

A closer look at the MSI Wind U90

Brad Linder — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 20:32:08 +0000

If you're in the market for a netbook and looking for a bargain, you might be considering the MSI Wind U90. Like the popular Wind U100, the U90 has a large keyboard, an Intel Atom CPU, and an 80GB hard drive. It also has a smaller 8.9 inch display with a large bezel around the screen because it's housed in...

Unboxing the MSI Wind U90 – Video

Brad Linder — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:34:31 +0000

The MSI Wind U90 is the U100's little cousin. Well, it's not actually smaller. It just has a smaller screen and a larger bezel around the display. So if you want to save a few bucks, you can pick up the U90 instead of the U100, right? Well, not if you live in the US, because it's not available here...

That was fast: HP sends Mini-Note recovery disc overnight

Brad Linder — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:16:00 +0000

I'm moving in about two weeks, so I wasn't sure if I should bother calling HP support and asking for a SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) recovery disc or if I should wait until after I moved. Ultimately I figured if the disc didn't show up before the big move, I could always just try again in a few weeks....

Getting recovery discs for an HP Mini-Note

Brad Linder — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 01:06:00 +0000

HP may not include recovery discs with the HP Mini-Note, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. This morning I called HP support and after spending a few minutes on hold and being transferred a few times, I finally got someone who handles support for the Mini-Note. Apparently the folks who provide general technical support for HP laptops aren't responsible...

HP uploads Mini-Note SuSE Linux restore disc images

Brad Linder — Wed, 14 May 2008 04:45:00 +0000

Update: Upon closer inspection, this is not a restore disc image. Rather, it's a disc image that contains the software HP added to SuSE Enterprise Linux for the Mini-Note. Theoretically you could download and install SuSE on your own and then use this disc to restore your system to the state it was in when you bought it. But if...

Installing Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on the HP Mini-Note

Brad Linder — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:39:00 +0000

If you bought an HP Mini-Note hoping to wipe SUSE or Windows Vista and replace the operating system with Ubuntu, you might be disappointed to know that not everything works out of the box. But then, if you're the sort of person who's interesting in buying a brand new computer model and installing a brand new operating system on it,...
