    This guy’s voice keeps cracking, and I can’t ignore it.

  2. aliancemd Said,

    U can just Alt+Tab it will access Zone very fast. U can switch with Zone, and u can switch pressing Alt+Tab.

  3. MageraBr Said,

    Moblin is a excelent os. The one and big problem is the ZONES, is very hard to quickly switch between aplications, taskbar still are very better.

  4. copperblade Said,

    Although the left column SHOULD be on the right hand side, closer to window scrollbars.

  5. ComiCon16 Said,

    I think I might just stay with xubuntu desktop and update it to 9.10

  6. ErikWestrup Said,

    Will all (graphical) programs found in the Ubuntu repos work with UMR?

  7. IHaveABeard123 Said,

    zones = workspaces

    not completely convinced that this will work but the rest of it looks great

  8. Uejji Said,

    Your wireless card likely relies on a proprietary driver in Linux that the moblin live environment doesn’t provide. Integrating the moblin interface with another distro should solve these problems. For instance on my netbook the broadcom wireless card relies on a proprietary driver in Linux, but Ubuntu provides that driver, so Moblin on Ubuntu should allow me to use Moblin on top of Ubuntu’s package and driver system.

    Interesting.

  10. Mohamedhp Said,

    This moblin is really something…

    I tried it last night on my nb200 but unfortunatly and unlike ubuntu desktop version it wasn’t able to connect to my wireless network and since the software is totally based on internet its a total waste to have it as my secondary live system, I will stick with ubuntu desktop inspite it has an ugly interface compared to moblin cool one

    Thanks for the effort Sascha :D

    Cool demonstration, things are really coming along :)

    For the record, the browser is Mozilla-based, not Webkit-based.

    Now that’s cool! Just put it on a hardware platform with nvidia ION and I’d buy in a heartbeat.

  13. frvfilms Said,

    on remix they should have option to move the column to the right and to autohide it,

  14. tigsdk Said,

    I wonder if Ubuntu Moblin comes with multimedia support – the “normal” Moblin so far doesn’t.
