A highlight of the Intel Developer Forum a few weeks ago: Dell's offering of a netbook preloaded with a Moblin v2 distro from Ubuntu.
I covered this in my story, "Moblin. Canonical. Dell. It's a Wrap." My coverage was based on conversations with Canonical prior to the announcement. Now, the writers over at Ars Technica have posted an in-depth review of the hardware/software package.
In his story, "A review of the Dell Mini 10v, Ubuntu Moblin Remix edition," Ryan Paul begins with an overview of the Dell netbook's hardware -- nothing new or surprising there, especially with is comment about the touchpad ("an abomination").
After that, though, Ryan gets to the new part of the deal: the software part of the system. He writes about about the Mutter-based user interface, the bundled applications (some positive, some negative), and then provided some well-considered analysis. You should read it yourself, but I liked his line, "it has the potential to be truly scrumptious when it's fully cooked."
Well done, Ryan.
