Ack! I still haven't gotten around to installing Ubunut Netbook Remix 9.10 on my Acer Aspire One yet (currently running 8.04). Now, here comes...

Moblin v2.1 project release for netbooks and nettops - it's here

I tried Moblin briefly a while back after its initial public release, didn't like it, and haven't revisited it since. Like the One Laptop Per Child XO Sugar OS, I think Moblin's UI violates my end-user expectations too much for me to even begin to accept it. However, if you try it, here's what's new or enhanced:

- Web browser with plug-in support
- 3G data modem support
- Application installer (ya, I guess that would help :-)
- Bluetooth device support
- Connection manager for Ethernet, WiFi, WiMAX, & 3G
- Nettop UI scaling support
- Improved instant messaging
- Localization improvements
