Acer announced at its press conference yesterday to use Moblin Linux OS on its netbooks and nettops and desktop PCs.
Moblin is a Linux-based operating system developed by Intel to provide faster performance, boot time and shortcuts and better user interface for netbooks. Right now, different distribution of Moblin such as SuSE Moblin, Xandros Moblin, Linpus Moblin, Red Flag Moblin and Ubuntu Moblin have been demonstrating on different computer devices from HP, ASUS, MSI and Hasee at Computex 2009.
Intel’s folk in the department of developing moblin believe that the next version of Moblin will be able to curtail the boot time to 5 sec only.
Moblin is not the only project Acer is working on. Acer has also been demonstrating running Google’s Android with full FireFox inside on an Aspire one D250. You can see a short video of it after the break.
However, Acer has mentioned that the final android-based netbook will be different than this demo at Computex. The Aspire One D25o with Android had short boot–up of 15 second and shut down of 1 second!
