May 11, 2010 at 2:40 pm
Canonical has announced its own instant-on operating system called Ubuntu Light. This lightweight OS has a tailored netbook interface called Unity and will boot into a browser in 7 seconds. It also features chat, IM, browser and media player applications.
Unity will be the desktop environment for Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition that is expected to be released in October 2010. Unity is designed for netbooks and touch devices and will include a new panel and app launcher.

Freekin AWSOME. Glad that the spaced-out-spaceman decieded to get into the nuts and bolts of Ubuntu, rather than prancing around as CEO. Leave that to the chicks.
