Moblin v2.0 beta for Netbooks and Nettops - It's here...

,----[ Quote ]
| The Moblin steering committee is happy to release the Moblin v2.0 beta for 
| Netbooks and Nettops for developer testing. With this release, developers can 
| begin to experience and work with the source code of the visually rich, 
| interactive user interface designed for Intel Atom based Netbooks. The Moblin 
| v2.0 user experience has been designed from the ground up to provide unique 
| ways to engage with the internet, aggregate your social networking activity, 
| and enjoy your media content. The new user experience and core applications 
| were developed using the Clutter animation framework, leveraging heavily from 
| GL and the physics engine.

Moblin on the Classmate

,----[ Quote ]
| Based on Fedora, Moblin has been receiving a lot of very favorable reviews 
| and really does have some very impressive features. Most importantly, it’s 
| fast and responsive on minimal hardware and actually has a user interface 
| that lends itself to the tasks best-suited to netbooks. I won’t go into the 
| details as it’s been extensively reviewed elsewhere; suffice to say, the 
| interface is very cool if you aren’t looking for something that looks like 
| Windows.

Moblin 2.0

,----[ Quote ]
| Moblin 2.0 looks nothing like Moblin 1.0. The GUI’s are completely different. 
| Moblin 1.0 has icons, uses Firefox’s minefield, and doesn’t change much from 
| the standard GUI. Moblin 2.0 has no icons at all, instead has something 
| similar to Apple’s launchpad; it also uses Google’s Chrome browser by 
| default. There are only around 8 things that can be clicked in this launchpad 
| interface. One of the most interesting being to me was the Twitter update 
| status tab. It’s also important to note that all of these main tabs 
| completely take up the window and cannot be resized or minimized, only closed 
| or opened.

The Moblin V2 User Interface Is Very Impressive

,----[ Quote ]
| We first got excited for Moblin 2.0 back in January when seeing how fast this
| Linux distribution had booted on Atom-powered netbooks. This Fedora-derived
| distribution booted even faster with a newer development release that came
| out this past March. While Moblin 2.0 final is not yet released, there is now
| more to get excited over than just amazing boot times. Moblin 2.0 will
| introduce a Clutter-based user interface and from our initial encounters with
| this release, it is very impressive! In this article we have more information
| on this new UI along with screenshots and videos.
