## History

In June 2006, shortly after Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed Loongson 2E they need a company to build end product, so the Jiangsu Menglan Group began a joint venture with the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The venture was named Jiangsu Lemote Tech Co., Ltd.

A computer was announced by Fuxin Zhang, an ICT researcher also a Lemote staff, who said the purpose of this project was to "provide everyone with a personal computer".[3] The device is intended for low income groups and rural area students.

## Hardware

Lemote builds small form factor computers including network computers and netbooks with Loongson Processors.

### Netbook computers

Lemote Yeeloong 8101B

The Yeeloong netbook computer is intended to be built on free software[4] from the BIOS upwards, and for this reason is used and recommended by the founder of Free Software Foundation, Richard Stallman as of September 2008[5] and 23 January 2010.[6][7]

The specifications are:

#### Loongson 3A laptop

Loongson insiders[8] revealed a new model based on the Loongson 3A quad-core laptop has been developed and was expected to launch in August 2011. With a similar design to the MacBook Pro[9] from Apple Inc., it will carry a Linux operating system by default.[10]

In September 2011, Lemote announced the Yeeloong-8133 13.3" laptop featuring 900 MHz, quad-core Loongson-3A/2GQ CPU.[11]

### Desktop computers

* Lynloong, all-in-one desktop computer, combined computer and monitor, without keyboard.
* Myloong, desktop diskless network computer (NC), without monitor or keyboard.
* Fuloong, see below.

### Products in development

## Fuloong 2 series of small desktop computers

The Fuloong 2 series is a desktop computer that costs CN¥1,015, €100, US$131.[citation needed] It ships with two Linux distributions, Debian and Rays Linux, but any other distribution that has a mipsel port can be installed, e.g. Gentoo Linux.

It also develops a Loongson processor simulator based on GXemul. In part to its ability to run only libre software, without proprietary binary blobs, Richard Stallman famously used the Lemote Yeeloong.[7]
