Linpus announces new Moblin-based Linux distro for netbooks
by corkie on May.27, 2009, under Linux
Linpus Linux Lite is a Linux operating system designed for netbooks with slow processors and small screens. The Linux versions of the Acer Aspire One netbook have been using Linpus since day one. The team behind the operating system have a few new things in the works. First, Linpus will be showing off an updated version of its instant-on product at Computex. But the much more interesting product that will be on display is an updated version of Linpus based on Moblin V2 beta.
Moblin is another Linux distribution optimized for netbooks. The project was started by Intel, and is now run by the Linux Foundation. And while Linpus, Xandros, and a few other operating systems have tried to make the experience of using Linux on a netbook easier with large program launchers and a few other tweaks, Moblin goes much further by trying to change the way we interact with a computer. In fact, the Moblin interface almost feels more like a cellphone or internet kiosk UI than a traditional computer interface.
