My review unit came with Windows XP - the 701s ran on a customised Xandros Linux operating system, still an option for the new model and the 901, launching here on July 1.
I prefer the Linux OS myself - it runs faster on the Eee's 900Mhz Celeron processor, but the 1024MB of RAM certainly help push things along nicely.
- Mot ships new Linux phones
Motorola has quietly started shipping three new Linux-based "PDA" phones.

* The only Windows machines I have left in my house are in the attic

* I feel more productive in my operating environments than ever before.
- Do we really need another packaging system?
The reality of the situation is that the differences between distros gives people a chance to innovate more with how a Linux system works. Trying to funnel everything down through some common layer at the bottom really reduces the chances for big innovation to happen.
- Nvidia says no to free drivers, I say no to Nvidia
Linux kernel developers issue a statement signed by about 100 developers that they find non-free kernel modules to be undesirable and harmful. As they say "Such modules negate the openness, stability, flexibility, and maintainability of the Linux development model and shut their users off from the expertise of the Linux community.

Symbian Analysis
- Nokia’s Open Source Response: The Symbian Q&A
A: A few of the inquiries we’ve seen incoming have asked whether the EPL is compatible with the GPL - the license that governs, among other projects - Linux. The answer to that question is no, it is not. So Symbian assets will not be permitted to be legally recombined with Linux code for their mobile efforts.
- Nokia to buy and open source Symbian
There’s a huge difference between Linux and the handsets, though, and I think it’s an important one.
