- Netbooks + Ubuntu: On fence about form factor; OS solid
- Last week, I bought a Dell Mini 9 preloaded with Ubuntu. The idea: Check out a netbook and take Ubuntu for a spin. The early reaction: Netbooks can be handy, but they can also cramp your hands with those dinky keyboards. And aside from some early problems with connecting to...
