The Moblin steering committee is happy to release the Moblin v2.0 beta for netbooks and nettops for developer testing. With this release, developers can begin to experience and work with the source code of the visually rich, interactive user interface designed for Intel Atom-based netbooks. The Moblin v2.0 user experience has been designed from the ground up to provide unique ways to engage with the internet, aggregate your social networking activity, and enjoy your media content. The new user experience and core applications were developed using the Clutter animation framework, leveraging heavily from GL and the physics engine.
Experience it for yourself. Download the Moblin v2.0 netbook beta images and take it for a test drive. View the user experience video, take a look at the screen shots, or view the preliminary user guide.

We would like to invite and encourage all developers to test the beta. We feel the code has reached a level where both developers and enthusiasts can play with it. While fine tuning, bug fixing, and polishing is ongoing, so is performance improvement, all of which you should start seeing roll into the weekly builds. We encourage anyone to test it and provide feedback to us through bugzilla or on the developer mailing list. Only with your feedback can we further enhance the user experience.read more
