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.

Interesting.
I hope you keep track of which system has been booted successfully into Haiku from your flash drive and feed-back the information into the Haiku Project!?
There was once a list of desktop and portable systems on which BeOS could be successfully booted-up. This list also included hints for common problems and remedies for missing drivers (especially portables with their LCD panels). I admit I benefited from the existence of this list quite a number of times.
The more information about getting Haiku up and running on various systems, the more likely it will crystallize the dream of a media centric OS into reality (again!).

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.
