C’est au Computex 2008 que Canonical a décider de présenter les premières images officielles de Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Cette version est conçu spécialement pour les petits Netbook tel que l’EeePC, l’Aspire One et ce genre d’ordinateur à la mode. On en sait pas trop encore mais il est dit qu’on pourra se connecter à internet encore plus vite, que c’est optimisé pour les processeurs Intel Atom mais que ça ne viendra que pour plus tard en 2008.
Voici l’anonce sur le site de Canonical :
Computex, Taiwan June 3, 2008: Canonical, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, today announced that it will be demonstrating a reworked desktop image of Ubuntu built specifically for a new category of portable Internet-centric devices – netbooks. These affordable, power-efficient, small screen devices, based on the ground breaking low-power micro-architecture of the Intel® Atom™ processor, and Ubuntu allow consumers to enjoy email, instant messaging, Internet surfing and on-line access to photos, videos or music with an affordable, reliable device.
Ubuntu Netbook Remix is built to provide a superb user experience leveraging Ubuntu’s reputation for delivering operating systems that ‘just work’ in the desktop environment. The remix is based on the standard Ubuntu Desktop Edition but with a launcher that allows users to get on-line more quickly and have faster access to their favourite applications. Ubuntu Netbook Remix will enable device manufacturers to get to market rapidly with a compelling software solution on netbooks, as they have a standard user interface (UI) that is built on a widely used operating system underpinned by a globally recognised brand. Canonical is also working with ISVs to ensure that popular desktop applications are certified on Ubuntu, and will run on the Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
