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.

My computer came with SplashTop. I thought it was crap as I am one of those 'I don't need a crippled OS' guys, but I slowly started to boot into it more and more often, and now it is my preferred environment for casual browsing when traveling, and for reading in bed just before going to sleep.

Yes, and it is great for sending a quick email, or checking your bank account before going out.
