This guy's voice keeps cracking, and I can't ignore it.

U can just Alt+Tab it will access Zone very fast. U can switch with Zone, and u can switch pressing Alt+Tab.

Although the left column SHOULD be on the right hand side, closer to window scrollbars.

Will all (graphical) programs found in the Ubuntu repos work with UMR?

[IHaveABeard123]

zones = workspaces

not completely convinced that this will work but the rest of it looks great

Your wireless card likely relies on a proprietary driver in Linux that the moblin live environment doesn't provide. Integrating the moblin interface with another distro should solve these problems. For instance on my netbook the broadcom wireless card relies on a proprietary driver in Linux, but Ubuntu provides that driver, so Moblin on Ubuntu should allow me to use Moblin on top of Ubuntu's package and driver system.

Interesting.

This moblin is really something...

I tried it last night on my nb200 but unfortunatly and unlike ubuntu desktop version it wasn't able to connect to my wireless network and since the software is totally based on internet its a total waste to have it as my secondary live system, I will stick with ubuntu desktop inspite it has an ugly interface compared to moblin cool one

Thanks for the effort Sascha :D

Cool demonstration, things are really coming along :)

For the record, the browser is Mozilla-based, not Webkit-based.

Now that's cool! Just put it on a hardware platform with nvidia ION and I'd buy in a heartbeat.
