From announce at ntlug.org Thu Aug 13 08:54:27 2009 From: announce at ntlug.org (Low-traffic NTLUG announcement list) Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 08:54:27 -0500 Subject: [NTLUG:Announce] NTLUG Meeting Saturday August 15 2009, Moblin and the Acer Aspire One Message-ID: <4A841B13.7030204@acm.org> Intel's Moblin is a Linux kernel variant designed for Atom based notebooks. However, it is relatively light weight and fast to boot up. Earlier this year Novell took some interest in the Moblin project for their enterprise Linux based distribution line... potentially aiming for the corporate netbook market. Novell is also working on a Moblin inspired cross architecture version (not just for Atom). I'll be honest I have done NONE of the work on getting this ready yet... so I'm hoping all goes well!! If you all come out to the meeting, I'll give the Aspire One AWAY as the door prize! Meeting location can be found at http://www.ntlug.org/Main/NextMeeting Agenda: 9am - 12:30p Linux Installation Project 10am - 11am Beginner's Group 11am - 12:30p Moblin and the Aspire One
