What's Up with Moblin?

To me it looks like the project is dying. I have also tried out the August 18 release, and it did not install on an Asus 1000H, wich should have worked out-of-the-box. Very strange.

I hope that some good ideas will be implemented in Ubuntu Netbook Remix (were there any???), and for the rest I fear that Windows 7 will be a success on netbooks. May be Jolicloud will be any good, I will give it a try. Here's a good article about it:

Ok, I post this once.. it didnt show. So I will try again..

First thing, the last several builds of Moblin have worked great for me. I even got my Broadcom Wifi working on them.
I asked the same question on Moblin.org a week ago about why there have been no builds since Aug 18th.. no reply.

One thing is that Ubuntu and Fedora now have Moblin versions. You can try both them out. Ubunto Moblin Remix even has daily builds going. Just google them.

Almost all the main distros say they have incorporated Moblin Technology into their upcoming releases also, OpenSuse has a project called Goblin. (Not the same as GoblinX)....

So, not sure whats going on. But rumors have been that there is some netbooks coming out in October with Moblin on them. so.. who knows..

And @ moblin.org, the version 2.0 is final now. They have also a developer 2.1 version with a nice software store included. You only don't have to pay for it....
