ASUS to preload Ubuntu on EEE PC’s soon
Are you an Ubuntu junkie who’d love to be able to go in to a store and buy a netbook with Ubuntu installed from the box? Well you’ll be able to soon, with the ASUS Eee PC 1001PXD, 1011PX and1015PX getting the configurations first from the 1st of June, 2011 (this year for the time traveller in you). On the change of heart from Windows, Stanley Chang, product director at ASUS said:
“There are a number of factors that make Ubuntu an attractive proposition for ASUS and its customers. Ubuntu continues to set the standard for slick design, ease of use and security, it is the world’s third most popular operating system, and [it] has the most number of users in Linux. We were looking at publicly available data on the operating systems accessing Wikipedia last week and found the web site serves more pages to Ubuntu PCs than to iPad’s – there are a lot of users out there.”
