Vietnamese netbook runs on bilingual Linux distro
Vietnamese Linux technology firm Hacao has released a netbook, along with a new bilingual (English/Vietnamese) release of its Hacao Linux 2009 CE distro. The Hacao Netbook is based on an Intel Atom-based MSI Wind, and offers a 10-inch screen and 160GB of storage.
Introduced this weekend at the Vietnam Computer Electronics World Expo 2009, the Hacao Netbook is a branded version of the Pico netbook from Singapore-based Axioo, which is in turn a modified, Bluetooth-less version of the MSI Wind.
In 2007, Hacao introduced a Vietnamese-localized version of the Intel Classmate PC educational mini-laptop, making it one of the earliest netbooks on the market. Like the Classmate PC, the pre-Atomic age Hacao Classmate PC (pictured at right), was based on a 900MHz Celeron and featured a 7-inch display. It was adopted by the Vietnamese government for use in Vietnam's schools, along with the company's Hacao Linux distribution, the company said at the time.
