Computex 2009：Moblin 2.0 - Linux 小笔电的救世主？

[34.4 秒为这台 SUSE Linux 操作系统配上 Moblin 2.0 的开机时间]

由 Intel 在台研发团队（台湾Moblin技术发展中心 Moblin Enabling Center，MEC）打造出来的 Moblin 2.0 其实是一张架在 Linux 上面的美丽外皮，而且是 Atom 专用。Moblin 的作业环境分五个区块，左上角今日工作事项、左下角重要的应用程序，中间我的文件内容以及右边我好友的现在状态，再配上最上面的导览Bar，Moblin 2.0 确实是所有 Linux 在小笔电上表现的最简洁干净好用的应用界面。

Moblin 2.0 其实最适合「还没真正学过电脑」或「轻量认知电脑」的使用者使用，因为如我妈或者是初学电脑的小朋友，Windows 对他们来说需要花时间来学习的，可能会扼杀他们使用电脑的兴趣（尤其是35岁以上的初学者）。但纵使如此，由 Linux 接手的 Moblin.org 必须承接教育的工作，不能简单丢给硬件商就开卖，这样必然有不好的结果。

另一方面，Moblin 2.0 用了将近三分之一的版面作为 SNS 最新状态的呈现，这似乎是因特网的趋势，所需要搭配必定是 3G 连网或未来的 WiMax 连网，因此 Moblin 2.0 的轻省笔电最好是通过电讯业者来推广最为适当。

当然这就是 Intel 的计谋，Intel 所为无他，就是要 Atom 卖得越多越好才是，所以才想要一整完全被击溃的 Linux 轻省笔电市场，让各家厂商愿意为了 Moblin 2.0 再推出搭载 Atom 处理器的 Linux 小笔电。所以对 Intel 来说，不管是蓝猫或者是橘猫，只要是 Atom 架构的小笔电就是好猫！

下面图集有相当精致好看的 Vodafone 小笔电图集，完全符合上面文章的讲述状况。另外还有 Acer 以 SUSE 操作系统为基础的 Moblin 2.0 Aspire One，贴纸上号称有 11 小时续航力。跳转看 Moblin 2.0 的一些操作画面讲述，或者直接看这个影片：

<Computex 2009: Moblin-Linux is coming to rescue Netbooks?>

(34.4 seconds is all the time it takes for this SUSE Linux with Moblin laptop to boot up)

Moblin 2.0 is designed by Intel's development team in Taiwan. It is built on Linux and is designed specifically for Atom. You will see 5 main areas on the startup screen. In the upper left corner is the calender, lower left is the major applications, the middle is the documents, and your friends' status will appear on the right. Add a navigation bar to the top of the screen, and Moblin 2.0 becomes the cleanest and the most user-friendly operating system interface yet.

As a matter of fact, we think that Moblin 2.0 is best suited for the relatively inexperienced computer users. For example, my mom or my kids might find the standard Windows interface a little too intimidating to use. In this case, Moblin 2.0 will help smooth out the transition.

Also, Moblin 2.0 uses about one third of the area for showing SNS status. Perhpas this is the trend for Netbooks with 3G or WiMax capabilities. In this regard, it might be wise to bundle Moblin 2.0 with wireless providers.

Of course, Intel would love to see their Atom sales go up. Therefore, this might be their strategy to invade the Linux-Netbook market by encouraging more Netbook manufacturers to make more Moblin-enabled Atom Netbooks.

Here we have some fresh pictures of the new Vodafone Netbook. This particular Netbook completely matches the profile we've just described. In addition to that is the Moblin 2.0 Aspire One by Acer, which they claim has 11hr of battery life. We also have a video clip for people who are new to Moblin.
