Canonical, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, today announced that it has reached an agreement with Intel Corporation to deliver Ubuntu as an operating system for the Intel-powered classmate PCs.
The new Intel-powered classmate PC (a netbook specifically designed for the education market) features a larger screen, more memory and larger SSD or HDD than the original classmate PC.
It will also feature a modified version of Ubuntu Netbook Remix for the first time, improving the experience on smaller screens.
The Intel-powered convertible classmate PC features a touch screen on which a user can rest their palm to write or draw, converts from a clamshell to a tablet PC and auto-adjusts between landscape and portrait depending on how the machine is held.
Ubuntu will support all these use cases.
