> From my sources Canonical priced Ubuntu licensing way to high, pusing the likes of ASUS to ship Linpus and Xandros on netbooks.

What do you mean "priced Ubuntu licensing"? It's free, not licensed, isn't it?

For users who are ok with doing their own support, not for oem's like Asus who wants somebody to provide them with a ready made image and handle issues that arises. Why do you think they all went with custom made versions of xandros and linpus for the netbooks? They paid, and it was probably cheap. Why do you think Red Hat has paying customers when centos is free?
