There's an excellent new Linux Laptop being manufactured now by THTF, and using Freescale's green MPC5121e mobile GT processor and the new Linux-based LimeOS operating system. These guys not only designed their machines with the deliberate intent of using them for Linux only, but also started the development of their own flavour of Linux - LimeOS. If that isn't a good recommendation then I don't know what is! For anyone wanting to get away from Windows and onto a Linux system, I believe LimeOS, as used and developed by THTF on their Z9 LimeBook, is the ideal solution. The GUI makes it so easy to navigate; a child could use it, not to mention your granny! THFT have been at the forefront of developing this special flavour of Linux specifically designed to make it the easiest transition from a Windows-based environment, into OpenSource and a Linux Space. Moreover, the hardware is silent due to Freescale's chip, and extremely power efficient and robust. What’s more, their machines are extremely cost effective, and really bring the cost of laptop computing right down. The bugger is I haven’t found any shops to buy it in yet! I just found this link this morning to a page with details and contact info: http://www.tongfangpc.com/indexen.shtml http://www.tongfangpc.com/indexen.shtml There’s a load of info on THTF and then about halfway down the page some stuff on the Z9 LimeBook, some a couple of PDFs, and some external links which are pretty hot. The LimeOs FAQ’s link is very good, as is the LimeOS Quick Guide. There’s also a link to LimeOs.Org for developers. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/LimeOS-The-New-Linux-Flavour-from-THTF-tp23534035p23534035.html Sent from the linux-laptop mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-laptop" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
