Hewlett Packard has released a custom edition of Ubuntu Linux developed for netbooks. For the HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition, to be actual. Below the hood, the running technique is according to Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Meaning it may operate rather significantly any software that runs on Ubuntu including OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird and Pidgin. In reality, it comes preloaded with all of these programs plus a few far more. It is also rather effortless to install other Linux staples like image editor GIMP.
But what helps make the Mi Edition software program stand out will be the graphical user interface which seems to be practically nothing like Ubuntu or maybe Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Whenever you initial boot up the Mi Edition software you are greeted using a screen which has a net lookup engine, a listing of favorite web sites, and shortcuts for your songs and photos. Should you click the Commence New Method button, a system launcher will open that separates your applications into Web, Media, Utilities, Function, Perform, and All tabs. The settings supervisor reveals you everything you'd find inside the common Ubuntu settings screens, but it is organized inside a new way that makes it simpler to locate what you might be looking for with less clicks.
HP has also additional a custom made media player referred to as HP MediaStyle that appears a good deal like Apple's FrontRow. MediaStyle gives you which has a straightforward full display interface for navigating new music,Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, videos, and photos.

Total, HP has developed among the best imagined out Linux interfaces for netbooks. The computer software is created in order that users that have by no means used Linux really should don't have any trouble doing standard projects. But skilled Linux end users can constantly fire up a terminal window by hitting Alt+F2 and getting into "gnome-terminal."

The application comes preloaded on some HP netbooks. But HP also options to submit a utility on its website from the following number of days that may let you generate a system restore USB flash disk from Windows. It is possible to currently create a single if you are operating Linux. You can use this utility to both restore a Mi Edition netbook to factory default settings or to flip a Windows XP HP Mini 1000 into a Mi Edition device. I'd not advise anyone to attempt using this install disk on unsupported hardware as you'll possibly end up with the operating program that does not assist your WiFi card or other hardware.

It is not apparent whether or not HP plans to offer the computer software for non-netbooks. But when you would like to try out incorporating putting in the person interface over a normal Ubuntu installation, it is possible to attempt including the HP repositories and employing the Synaptic package deal manager to put in a package called glassy-bleu-theme.
