First look at Meego – a.k.a Moblin 2.2 (and where is maemo??)

Here are a few pictures of the upcoming Meego release (Moblin 2.2).
Go try it out for yourself! USB image can be downloaded here

Bootup is about as fast as Moblin 2.1, syslinux menu has not changed but due to using MIC2 this is not a surprise. Kernel 2.6.33-rc8 is used.

Graphically menus have changed very slightly. It now has a meego graphic as it starts clutter/mutter.

The biggest changes I could spot where Chromium for web browsing and Mozilla nowhere to be found... Thunderbird was being used for email. When halting (which apparently having no icon to do that means it's more user friendly...) it gives you a cute little backdrop of one of those creature like blocks waving at you!

Right now, Meego looks like a clone of Moblin and the only reason for the name change seems to be to appease the Maemo community which still seems to be up in arms about the move to an RPM based distro.

    Hey,

    Hey ya.

    Do these images work with nvidia graphics or same old issue?

    These images are old and should not be used. I haven't done any more work with Nvidia ION and meego but your best bet is to have a look on the http://www.meego.com site and build yourself an up to date image.

    My instructions for moblin 2.1 should pretty much work on meego. (obviously you'll have to recompile everything yourself)
