Netbooks can run many OS ( Moblin, Windows , Fedora ... etc .. ), you have to chose one which is suitable for your use ( light & fast OS, because netbooks doesn't have as much resources as laptops or desktops ) 2) Linux can run on anything so why not Linux? Linux is the kernel not the OS, you can use Fedora GNU/Linux . 3) In this multi-core world why do we need netbooks? ".. Netbooks (also called mini notebooks or [1]subnotebooks) are a rapidly evolving^[2][1] category of small, light and inexpensive [3]laptop computers suited for general computing and accessing [4]web-based applications; they are often marketed as "companion devices," that is, to augment a user's other computer access.^[5][1] [6]Walt Mossberg called them a "relatively new category of small, light, minimalist and cheap laptops." ^[7][2] By August 2009, [8]CNET called netbooks "nothing more than smaller, cheaper notebooks."^[9][1] ..." 4) Being a CS student I am very curios about the architecture of netbooks, can anybody please give me some good papers or links? Google is giving me a lot of unwanted stuffs([10]http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=architecture+of+netbo oks&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B5_____enIN337IN337&ie=UTF-8). I apologize if my questions appear too noob.
