testing Mobling 2.0 Beta on Acer AspireOne

I watched this video and decided to risk. especially - the new beta was loaded since June 26th, so I downloaded the Moblin Installation image (.img) from here and made a bootable USB drive with the help of WinDisk Imager. the img-file is nearly 660 Mb large, so you need at least 2 Gb drive for an efficient live-USB.

after the booting from USB-drive I've got a standard Moblin desktop with the browsing toolbar and the apps announced on the screenshots of the OS. WiFi, video and sound worked out-of-the-box, Ethernet adapter and Fn-hotkeys as well. the interface seemed to be very simple but convenient as for the 8,9'' screen of my AAO with SSD-drive (8 Gb). Installation took nearly 10-15 minutes and after rebooting I've got the same looking simple but pleasant and glamouros-like interface and apps as in the Live-USB version.

noticed features:
- WiFi, sound and ethernet out-of-the-box;
- built-in support of Ogg soundfiles and Ogg video out-of-the-box;
- very simple and natively convenient interface for the small netbook's screen;
- battery indicates correct;
- working Fn-keys;
- no touchpad scrolling support;
- not clear what is about built-in camera;
- very basic apps;
- hot-pluggable card-reader is on (from the left side at least);
- no working LEDs for WiFi;
- nice way of navigation between files and directories with a tap-touch mechanism;
- bonuses; animation film "Big Buck-Bunny" and soundfiles with a good jazz and soul; all of them are Ogg-formatted;
- support for social networks' profiles and todo-lists together with calendar and recently used files.

from the first view this OS looks good enough, though the functionality seems to be rather online-aimed and cloud-computed rather the local-based like in usual Linux-based distributives. Moblin still can't be the one and only OS for you netbook for solving most of the everyday-tasks, but it can be used as a basement for experiments.
