Ubuntu Becomes Intel's Classmate

"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."
