	HP's Linux GUI for netbooks


	Submitted by sverma on Friday, February 6, 2009 - 15:32	Code \| Linux \| News \| Ubuntu
	From Slashdot: http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/02/06/177231&from=rss ...a new custom version of Ubuntu aimed at netbooks and based on 8.04 Hardy Heron has been released by HP. Targeted to the HP Mini 1000 Mi, the netbook customization comes complete with OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Pidgin, and a few others. "Overall, HP has created one of the best thought out Linux interfaces for netbooks. The software is designed so that users who have never used Linux should have no trouble performing basic tasks. But experienced Linux users can always fire up a terminal window by hitting Alt+F2 and entering 'gnome-terminal.'"
