Slashtop coming to SONY and Acer netbooks – Just another Instant-on OS
Slashtop is yet another custom Linux distro that promises to load in 10-15 seconds. However, unlike Ubuntu, which is a full-featured Linux distro, the Slashtop does not come with a lot of apps on board. It just comes with the basic programs like firefox and pidgin.
Acer and Sony are not the first ones to adopt the Slashtop OS. Before them, Lenovo has also licensed their software for their desktop PCs. That said, Acer and Sony are not bringing the Slashtop OS to their respective netbooks. Acer is going to put it in their nettops and Sony will be putting it in their VAIO NW notebook line.
When it comes to speed in Linux distros, I personally find the Ubuntu 9.04 NBR quick enough. I do not mind waiting for extra 10 seconds if those extra 10 seconds can give me a full-featured OS instead of a stripped one.
