Archos is a french company known since 10 years for producing MP3 and MP4 players just released a netbook which runs under your favorite OS.
It's the Archos 10 UBUNTU
Here are the technical specs of the beast :
- 500 GB Hard disk
- 10.2'' WXGA Screen (LED backlight)
- Intel® ATOM™ N270 1.60 GHz Processor
- 2 GB DDR2
- WiFi - card reader slot (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO) - 1.3MP webcam - 2 stereo speakers - microphone
- Operating System : UBUNTU 8.04 LTS
- Extended-life battery version: extended-life up to 7 hours (with 6-cells battery)
All this stuff for 399.98 €, which is a common price for netbooks.
You can directly buy it in the Archos Store (only in French for the moment).
Bye.

Excellent. Let us know when it will be available in other countries.
Yep, I will publish an update post when it will be available in other countries, :).
Why on earth do netbookmakers keep insisting on putting Hard Drives in netbooks?
Moving parts completely ruin the whole point of a netbook :-/
It also sure is a ton more expensive than the Windows version.
Very nice ,Ubuntu shows the way..long live ubuntu
I like it: Archos seem to be the only guys that understand that OSS users are power users. Their Ubuntu model has more disk space, more memory, and the biggest battery of their WinXP-equipped models.
That makes a lot more sense than the many crippled GNU/Linux netbooks I've seen, with barely enough disk space to install two distros...
Good news!!! but Archos is a big joke!!
