For your convenience, let me rephrase things:<br><br>My 15" TiBook weighs about the same as this so-called 'Ultra'-portable.

I want it. But I would have to change the GDM theme right away. I love Ubuntu, I've messed with alot of GNU/Linux distros and by far Ubuntu is my favorite. The only thing that annoys me is the default theme, red and brown, it's like someone bled all over the GUI. I've personally themed everything from the GDM (log in manager) to the windows to be blue, I also am a fan of the tango icon set.<br><br>It's definitely nice to see some Ubuntu laptops coming, Linspire has been doing that for a looong time, but Ubuntu is way better. Though I think I would just buy a cheaper laptop and put Ubuntu on it myself. But then again, the off white is pretty damn sexy.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Randavance]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 5th 2007 7:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on System 76 unveils Ubuntu-powered Darter ultraportable series]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/system-76-unveils-ubuntu-powered-darter-ultraportable-series/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/system-76-unveils-ubuntu-powered-darter-ultraportable-series/</guid><description><![CDATA[Eh, it's kinda cool.

I have to buy a new laptop soon because I'm quitting my job and my employer owns my current notebook. I plan to run Ubuntu and I've found many laptops a lot sexier than this for a lot less money. They all come with Vista or XP, so I'm paying the Microsoft tax. Despite that, they are way sexier than this and way cheaper. Also, most of the laptops out there are available with Intel video cards and wireless carsd. All the parts will work perfectly in Ubuntu. If you want to attract sales by avoiding the Microsoft tax, you have to charge less money and have equally sexy hardware.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Apreche]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2007 11:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on System 76 unveils Ubuntu-powered Darter ultraportable series]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/system-76-unveils-ubuntu-powered-darter-ultraportable-series/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/system-76-unveils-ubuntu-powered-darter-ultraportable-series/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm also using Ubuntu and I wonder when there'll be a PDF editor on Linux so that I can say goodbye to my XP :(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thai Dang Vu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2007 8:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on System 76 unveils Ubuntu-powered Darter ultraportable series]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/system-76-unveils-ubuntu-powered-darter-ultraportable-series/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/system-76-unveils-ubuntu-powered-darter-ultraportable-series/</guid><description><![CDATA[<a href="http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110092067609&rd=1&rd=1" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110092067609&rd=1&rd=1</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Miller]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 14th 2007 12:14AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
