Google Announced Chrome OS, Targeting Netbook Users
We know that Google Chrome is a web browser designed by Google to run better with other Google Apps, and to let us browse the web faster. But that's not all Google Chrome is about. Google has just announced recently that they are coming up with the Chrome OS -- an open source, Linux-based OS that will be a light weight system targeted specifically at netbooks.
Apparently, with the fast and lightweight user interface, Google Chrome OS is designed in such a way that most of the user experience will be web-based. This will make it a perfect OS for netbook, which is supposed to be used mainly for interacting with the web.
Here are some facts about the Google Chrome OS:
- fast, light weight system
- minimal interface just like Google Chrome
- able to run on both x86 and ARM chips
- will support all web-based applications
- will be available on netbooks in the 2nd half of 2010

Eeebuntu 3.0 Now Available - Linux Based OS Designed Specially For Eee PC User
Windows XP and Linux are the 2 operating system that dominate the world of netbooks as of now. While there's nothing much you can do with the Wondows XP, there are quite a number of variation of Linux OS that a netbook user can choose from, and Eeebuntu is one of them.
The Eeebuntu is a custom version of Ubuntu Linux designed specially for netbooks. While the recent release of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope has built in improved support for netbooks, Eeebuntu 3.0 which is developed based on Jaunty Jackalope, takes one step further by using a custom kernel designed to work with all of the hardware and custom hotkeys on most Asus Eee PC netbooks.
There are 3 version of Eeebuntu avaialble for download now: Base, Standard and NBR. The base version is the smallest, lightest and most stripped down among the three. It comes with only the usual configuration applications, Firefox, restricted extras and the Eeeconfigure application. It takes little space on your netbook to install the base version of Eeebuntu, and you can choose to install other apps of your choice after it's installed. The standard version is the most popular among the three. It contains everything you need to get working and playing on your EeePC, which includes a basic Ubuntu installation plus a full suite of internet applications such as Firefox, Pidgin, Thunderbird, OppenOffice applications, VLC Media Player, and Compiz desktop effects. NBR includes the Ubuntu Netbook Remix interface. And the NBR version (stands for Netbook Remix) is similar to Standard version, but uses the Netbook Launcher, which is customised for the small screen of the EeePC by providing a tabbed environment with easy to access icons for all the applications and documents you use day to day.
The Eeebuntu 3.0 is now available for download on its official website. You might want to try it out if you are a Linux user, and is not satisfied with your current Linux OS.
