Moblin56 viewsThe journey begins here; this is the first screen you will see with a fresh Moblin install. To install, i simply booted into my live USB image of Fedora 12 and ran this command as root: yum groupinstall "Moblin Desktop Environment" -- and that installed all necessary packages of Moblin for my x86 eeePC. I logged out of KDE and logged back into Moblin.

App switcher52 viewsApp switcher again...this time with an overlay at the bottom. All the compositing and animation is very very smooth. Smoother than I've seen anything, I think, on my eeePC. Whatever Intel is doing with their CPU and GPU, it's working. Could it be that they are doing things that they are not sharing with the rest of the programming world? because to me it seems like if they can get such smooth response from their Celeron+965gm (or whatever graphics chip i have) then so should everyone else.

Pasteboard42 viewsI have no clue what this pasteboard's function is except, I guess, to be a klipper-like copy/paste picker. Seems like having its own selection on the Moblin menu/dock is kind of overkill for such a simple thing...

|
Shutdown Nightmare43 viewsI looked everywhere but could not figure out how to logout or shutdown or otherwise stop Moblin from running. Ultimately the answer was to open up Konsole and as root do a shutdown -h now
This could be a quirk only in Fedora's build, or it could be because I really had very few Gnome apps on the system...I'm not sure. But a logout or shutdown option was definitely not obvious.

Social Media Menu27 viewsThe screen to log in to your social media accounts. I was very surprised to see what Moblin did and did not interface with. No Facebook integration?? no Google integration?? AOL?? Most of the big names (at least what I perceive to be big names) were missing. The only one of these services I have is last.fm
The other one I might have used, in theory, is identi.ca but....that's not here either. I could not for the life of me find where to add new services, so this may not be possible.

wolvix 2.0 liveCD38 viewsusing the lightweight but very feature-complete Wolvix 2 liveCD at work. You'll find it a 100% Slackware-compatible distribution with lots of useful X and Gtk apps.

TiT Desktop Challenge pic 149 viewsToshiba Sattellite 415 + Slackware 13 64bit + Ratpoison
Ratpoison is so far great aside from a few of its default keybindings interfering with some other app key bindings. Otherwise, it's fantastic; a lot like an X version of GNU Screen

control-t w displays a list of all currently opened windows. See it in the top right of the pic. It's _not_ a window selector; just a list of what windows are open. You can, however, jump straight to a window with control-t <number> which is handy.

TiT Desktop Challenge pic 256 viewsRatpoison running firefox. Note the lack of window decoration on new windows, like file selection dialogue boxes, that are generated by an application. Windows that users start themselves from a console simply start by default taking up your entire screen.

fluxbox at work74 viewsThis is fluxbox on my work computer. The window decoration is blind_gray theme, which I ripped off from Wolvix. All GTK apps are themed with Industrial or Clearlooks or something, via gtk_chtheme. Klipper serves as a persistent clipboard, grabbing everything I copy & paste regardless of whether i've copied it from my ssh -Y session in Konsole, or X-forwarded emacs, or from a local doc. It's brilliant. In fact all of my favourite KDE apps run brilliantly from within flux, so I'm a happy [KDE] camper;

fluxbox at work105 viewsmy latest job requires that I use some funky OS called "linux" ?? Well, whatever. I get to spend all day in Ubuntu+Fluxbox, ssh'd into a centOS box. It's pretty nifty. Here's my desktop. Note that the konsole window actually has arora opened in it as well via tabbed windows feature in Flux. I run mostly K apps in fluxbox, and you can see the Klipper and Kmix apps in the fluxbox toolbar in the top right. Meta-l gives me Krunner, meta-d is bound to Dolphin, mata-t to konsole, meta-k to konqi, etc.

Moblin dock54 viewsOddly, Moblin kind of disappears when you start an app. Maybe this was because I was using K Apps and Moblin is a GTK/Cluster entity, but I found it a bit interesting that the apps didn't actually run "inside" of the Moblin environment.
To get back into Moblin, one can move one's mouse to the top of the screen and regain access to the Moblin UI. Very smooth animation for all of this, btw; VERY attractive even on a 900mhz Celeron processor.
