Hewlett-Packard has a customized version of Ubuntu Linux for Netbook. For the HP 1000 Mini My edition, to be exact. Under the hood, the operating system based on Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8 / 04. This means that you can get almost any application running on Ubuntu, including OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird and Pidgin. In fact, he will work with all applications, plus a little more. It is also very easy to install, Linux, and other basic image editor GIMP.

But what makes my position editing software is a graphical user interface, which has nothing to do Ubuntu or Ubuntu Netbook Remix. The first time my download software you will be equipped with a screen from a Web browser, a list of favorite sites and links to your music and photos. When you click the Start button NADAF, the program launch, opened applications on the Internet, media, utilities, work , play, and all the chips. Configuration Manager shows you all that in a typical configuration screens Ubuntu, but in a way that it is easier to find what you want with fewer clicks.

HP also has its own media player called Media STYLE that HP is very much like Apple FrontRow. MEDIA STYLE provides a simple full-screen interface for navigating music, videos and photos.

In general, HP is one of the best interfaces for Linux Netbook. The program is intended for users who have never used Linux have no problems should be the main task. But the experienced Linux users can run a terminal window by pressing Alt + F2 and typing "Gnome-terminal."

The software comes preinstalled on some HP Netbook. However, HP also plans to make a program on your site in the coming days that allows you to recover Windows from a USB flash drive. You can, if you're using Linux. You can use this utility, either at the factory my Netbook Edition or activate Windows XP HP 1000 Mini Edition device. I do not recommend trying to install a hard disk device, as will probably not end with the operating system, which is not compatible with your Wi-Fi-cards or other equipment.

It is not clear whether HP plans to offer software for the Netbook. But if you try to install the user through the normal installation of Ubuntu, you can try to ensure that stores and HP with the Synaptic Package Manager to install a package called Flint and blue theme.
