Last week Intel had pushed out a second alpha release of
Moblin V2 and now it boots even faster, which means they are down to the
point of being able to boot in just a few seconds. Beyond a very quick
boot process, they have already incorporated kernel mode-setting and
other newer Linux/X.Org technologies while also working to build a
desktop environment around the Clutter OpenGL tool-kit. Moblin is
certainly turning into an interesting Intel creation, but how does its
performance compare to other mobile-focused Linux distributions? We have
benchmarked Moblin V2 Alpha 2 and compared it against what is likely
their biggest competitor in the mobile space, Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and
the LPIA-based Ubuntu MID edition. Which of these mobile operating
systems is the fastest? We hope to find out today.
