Hardware, Embedded Systems We already introduced Dell's new laptop wonder, the Z600, to you earlier this week. What makes this laptop special is that it contains a small ARM motherboard which runs a special version of openSUSE Linux, allowing for instant access to basic functionality like checking email, browsing the web, and playing multimedia files. What's news, at least for OSNews, is that research from Dell has shown that people spent 70% of their time in the Linux environment.

What model of laptops are you using?

Haiku works on my old Dells and Compaq computers, and I have taken a flash drive into the stores to test out the netbooks for sale. So far it boots on all of them to a working desktop. Problems with sound, no wireless but always a working desktop.
