Hello, Rob.
Have you tried a MIPS-based netbook, or are
Thats something that I am thinking about all the time, but have no idea
how to implement. What is 'user management and kernel-mode

Luckily, the user management and kernel-mode support of linux itself helps a

But at the same time, I think that now is the time to be creating such
counter measures...
Has anybody thought about safety measures, when Ubuntu does take off. I
would have thought that when those who like to make these viruses, when
they notice Ubuntu is getting more and more used, they might target
Ubuntu. It wouldnt be difficult, but my guess would be it would be far

Me too, I'm definitely holding out until some ARM based options are on the
table. Despite desperately needing a new laptop and even a new netbook, I'd
rather not spend money on a new Intel machine until I've had a chance to see
the competition in action.

One significant barrier to ARM CPUs in netbooks is Windows' lack of
support for the company's processors. East admits it's a problem. "If we

Because it's almost certainly your friends we're after rather than you.
Don't take that the wrong way, you're brilliant! Your love for free and
open source software has helped make a great distro of Ubuntu and we
know you're routinely getting friends interested in the project and
using Ubuntu.
That is all well and good having all those things which you have all
pointed out, but, which are when you think of it, in need an Internet
connection. Connecting to the Internet,is the most important thing and
very few, if any ISP's give support for connection problems with Linux.
