Netbooks are currently coming in strong. And why not? These netbooks let you do most of the things you need to do without the bulk, weight and price of a full-pledged notebook.
But the small size of netbooks means smaller memories, storage capacities, and computing power. Enter Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu Linux is one of the most popular Linux distributions around. From nowhere, Ubuntu Linux skyrocketed to the top. And since it is a Linux OS, it requires fewer resources. This means that Ubuntu Linux and netbooks are truly meant for each other.
“What about the hardware compatibility problems?”, you ask. Well, not only did Ubuntu Linux help netbooks by providing a stable and powerful OS while using less resources, netbooks also return the favor by playing within the strengths of Ubuntu Linux. Being small devices, netbooks do not have a lot of devices for Ubuntu Linux to be incompatible with. The graphics card is definitely not top of the line with a lot of features so, not much incompatibility there either. And since it is a portable device, not much external devices are attached to it. With netbooks, the strengths of Ubuntu Linux are highlighted and its shortcomings, downplayed. In short, Ubuntu Linux or any other Linux distribution could really shine in this portable platform.
