Intel Moblin 2 Alpha Platform For Netbook

New platform released by Intel named Moblin 2 Alpha which is Linux-based to be used for Atom-powered netbooks. Moblin offers unique Internet connection manager and fast boot time. The open source platform is already adopted by several Linux distributors like Mandriva, GoS and Linpus. Intel hopes to attract third-party software developer to develop applications for Moblin 2 Alpha. The open source Moblin is still in stage of developing and the final user interface is still far from complete.

Moblin is specially designed for Netbook consist of Intel-based hardware. It works on Dell Mini 9 and Acer Aspire from testing, and offers very fast boot time. Intel's Moblin 2 Alpha looks more compelling than Ubuntu to both end users and developer. It is a good start by Intel and we hope it will be a great replacement for pricey Windows.
