Ubuntu ? at least it has a meaning.
fedora ?? (ok I've got nothing for this one..)
opensuse ? fair enough.

But linpus ? omg.]]>May 27th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/May 27th 2009 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/

I do not mean to scare people away because, within a couple of months, this OS will be extraordinary, with one of the best user interfaces I have dealt with (it is so simple and perfect for a netbook).

I am excited to see what additions Linpus makes.]]>May 29th 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/May 27th 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/May 27th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/
Had the energy been pooled we could have actually had one excellent implementation of linux instead of six half baked ones.

I gave up on Linpus XFCE and bought a netbook with XP instead. Although Linpus worked and was pleasant enough, it was a royal pain to customize and as time went on started to get shakier and shakier as fewer applications played nice with the old Fedora 8 core it was based on.]]>May 27th 2009 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/May 27th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/May 27th 2009 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/May 27th 2009 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/May 27th 2009 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://jamesmsingleton.com]]>May 27th 2009 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/
Then there will likely be cases where hardware vendors do their own customizations (e.g. HP & Dell, created their own derivatives of Ubuntu). Would their desktop be labelled "HP/Dell based on Ubuntu-Moblin"?

Wouldn't it be better to just have one "Moblin" distribution that can be tailored using home screen templates, application bundles, etc.? Then, users would know exactly what they have and can change it, to suit their taste/needs.]]>May 28th 2009 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/May 28th 2009 6:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.mad-hub.com]]>May 28th 2009 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/May 28th 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/linpus-set-to-debut-first-moblin-2-0-distribution-for-end-users/
I really don't understand. Pre-installed apps ? The fancy logo on the left corner?]]>Jun 1st 2009 12:01PM
