Looking for a light weight, ultraportable laptop that you can use to create, mix, and edit audio on the go? The Indamixx laptop is a $499 netbook loaded with a boatload of software for creating and editing audio. The netbook includes a custom Linux OS called Transmission 2.1, and software packages including:
- energyXT for music production
- Ardour for digital audio editing
- Preloaded with 2900 drum sounds and 350 samples
- Over 260 plugins
- Ardour Xchange which will import audio from other digitla audio workstation applications
The Indamixx is based on the same design as the Sylvania G Meso netbook. But in addition to the custom operating system and music software, you get a carrying case, a 1GB SD card, a free t-shirt, free shipping for US customers, and 30 days of software support.
The netbook is available for pre-order with a $99 deposit, and is expected to ship before Christmas.

To be frank, anyone who would want to use Linux for audio production is insane.
