First look at Moblin V2 Core Alpha

,----[ Quote ]
| There has been lots of fanfare around netbooks since this new market exploded 
| onto the scene little more than a year ago. Starting with the ASUS Eee PC, 
| other manufacturers soon followed suit to the point where most major 
| computing brands now have a netbook of some description. This major growth 
| has not been limited just to the hardware realm however, software too has 
| come along for a slice of the pie. Last year saw many new distributions 
| targeting these little machines, most being based off larger mainstream 
| distributions. Intel, who helped boost this market with the release of their 
| low-powered Atom processor, has also been busy in the software arena, 
| sponsoring the Moblin project - a Linux-based platform aimed squarely at 
| netbooks running its hardware.

Moblin2 first impressions -- wow, does it boot fast!

,----[ Quote ]
| A lot of notebooks and even netbooks these days run Windows, but also offer a
| minimalist Linux environment that boots in seconds. Now, with the
| Intel-sponsored Moblin project's alpha release of Moblin 2 Monday, it looks
| like insanely fast boots will become a standard feature of full-featured
| Linux desktops, too.
