Moblin Updates

June 19th, 2009

I just installed the Moblin beta refresh created on 07-06-2009 and just for interest tried the update software setting. I was rather surprised that there were already 270 updates totalling 279MB (this was only 11 days after the release).

Moblin Updates

My point is that it’s clear that there’s some very heavy development going on right now even though it’s already a very stable and feature rich OS.

It also highlights one of the great features about open source software, everyone gets the opportunity to see the progress and comment on it. It may be more exciting the way Apple, for example, releases it’s next versions but I can’t help think in the long run it’s better to be open.
