Netbook-friendly Linux Apps

I remember the first time I used a netbook. You may do too. You may not remember a lot of details, but you and I can agree that the fact that nothing fits on the damn screen can be annoying.

Well, netbooks have come a long way and app makers have finally adopted interfaces that can be good for netbooks.

One upon a time, most applications were designed for 800 x 600 pixel or lower resolution displays, so of course you could always dig up old programs for your netbook. But a handful of developers are also updating existing applications to optimize them for small screens. Ars Technica has an article on a new version of the Banshee Media Player which has a custom “Cubano” interface designed specifically for netbooks. Banshee was originally designed for Linux, but it also runs on OS X.

    Traditionally, Digital SLR or DSLR cameras have always offered better shots or still images and only recently included the ability to record video. The office models range in price of one hundred up to four hundred.

    .Jolicloud is an operating system based on Linux that is designed to run on netbooks but while most operating systems are fairly generic Jolicloud immediately stands out from the rest. After being installed these applications show up in the main interface and this allows easy access for launching the application think of it as the Apple AppStore except this is specifically designed for the Jolicloud OS.
