There’s no joy in Mudville as Everex has delayed its $399 Linux-based ultraportable notebook (specs here) until February.

It was supposed to be released yesterday and, sure, February’s less than a week away but Everex is talking about a month from now, meaning the end of February.

The delay, according to Everex, is due to the “OS being refined” and workers taking time off for Chinese New Year. Sorry kids. I was looking forward to this one, too. Hopefully it won’t get delayed any further.
