System76 Refreshes, Expands Ubuntu Netbook and Desktop Lineup
As Dell continues to adjust its Ubuntu system lineup, niche Ubuntu PC makers are pressing ahead with expanded Ubuntu-driven offerings. A key example: System76 has refreshed its Starling Ubuntu netbook with more memory and the company has introduced two new Ubuntu desktops. This could be the start of a busy August for Ubuntu systems: I’m expecting multiple Ubuntu netbook developments later this month.
While System76 and other niche Ubuntu PC makers march forward, there’s mixed Ubuntu systems news elsewhere. Two prime examples:
* As of August 11, Dell still had not fulfilled a July promise to introduce a new Ubuntu desktop PC. Dell’s U.S. Ubuntu web site (www.dell.com/Ubuntu) only lists netbooks and notebooks, and no Ubuntu desktop PC options are mentioned.
* US Big Box retailers (Best Buy, Staples, Target, etc.) have recently distanced themselves from Linux netbooks, increasingly offering Windows XP netbooks instead.
