Default Moblin

Anyone seen this distro, or perhaps tried the v2 beta on their netbooks?

Looks kinda interesting.

It looks like really nice, but I suspect that all the eye candy adds a little bloat.

I used CrunchEee on my Wind for a short while, and it was very fast and lightweight, but it didn't look as nice as Moblin.

I've been looking for a new distro, and I can't decide between Easy Peasy and Moblin, but I might give this one a try, first.

I think I read about it a while ago. It looks good.

I tried it for about an hour, its just bad. Lots of features are missing (like FF prefs and addons), and the top bar is annoying. I might reccomend it for young children when it gets out of beta, but right now its obtuse and flat out useless.

I installed Ubuntu NBR on my AA1, then xubuntu desktop and its been groovy.
