Kevin Tofel of jkontherun takes a look at the new Linux based netbook operating system Moblin v2 (mobile Linux). He demonstrates the alpha version of Moblin v2 core, that was officially announced a few days ago, on an MSI Wind netbook running it from an external CD-ROM drive.
Kevin briefly demonstrates the Mozilla based Minefield Web browser, the software package management system, and some UI sugar such as window transparency when moving application windows, roll-up windows, and panel customization that help users make optimal use of the screen real estate.
Moblin is being developed by Intel as a platform for Atom-based mobile devices. It is an open source system based on Linux that has also been adopted by Linux distributors such as Linpus, gOS and Mandriva who are said to plan custom derivatives on top of the Moblin core. Certainly a system worth checking out.
A final side note, the website of the Moblin project is built with Drupal, just as Linux-Netbook.com.
