Well said Madhurya Kakati, While ipads, iphones, sony vaio, Hp... lenovo... have they share in the market of people who buy it because have money to do so, there are 10X more people that can only buy a celeron 3300 notebook for US$50 dolars/month. Some months ago, the woman who cleans my home (Maria), have bought a notebook and I install archlinux for her for free, she said she went to work in another home (not mine) and the owner have a "super" notebook. They compared the graphics, sound, wifi , image, speed, easy of use, of the US$50 with the US$3000 one indeed Maria's have the same speed, never breaks, have better wifi (wicd), and 3G access was faster. For the curiosity, 3G access in Linux is much faster (about 6Mbits)... just because it does not use the "driver" that comes with the modem. So I guess that the speed limit is in the "driver"... Maria said she, her husband, son, doughter, all use the Notebook, it never loose anything, and is rock stable.. She is proud of using Linux... Sergio
