| With mobile computing being the next operating system battleground, it's
| hardly surprising that many industry players are focusing on these
| increasingly popular devices. One of the most promising among them, Moblin,
| has been through some major changes recently, both in terms of ownership and
| development goals. Read our feature story for the roundup of its recent past
| and probable future to learn more about the project. In the news section,
| Debian ditches the GNU C Library in favour of the more flexible Embedded
| GLIBC, Fedora finalises all features for the upcoming Leonidas release which
| includes delta support for RPMs, Slackware switches to packages compressed
| with LZMA compression mechanism, and the Ubuntu community looks to create yet
| another derivative based on the LXDE. Finally, don't miss our tips and trick
| section which provides a step-by-step guide of upgrading a stable Mandriva
| Linux 2009.1 to the latest Cooker, Mandriva's bleeding-edge development
| branch.
