Ubuntu Netbooks: Strong Demand at System76

[ Thanks to The VAR Guy for this link. ]

"First up, System76 President Carl Richell says demand for the company's Starling NetBook and Meerkat NetTops has been particularly strong. In an email to me, Richell wrote:

""We've had some challenges due to growth this year. Starling NetBook demand drove us out of stock two weeks earlier than projected. Meerkat NetTops were out of stock for 2 weeks forcing delays — they're back now. Two products launches are awaiting enough stock to fulfill initial orders — the Meerkat Ion NetTop and The Leopard i7 desktop. We're adjusting to higher Ubuntu product demand.""
