Moblin 2.0 was exciting and I tried it for a week or so on my Mini 10v but opted to go back to Snow Leopard. I think if I had a touch screen it might be really, really cool. The webkit that Moblin has implemented gave me problems with a few sites that ran flash and other more advanced coding techniques. Slowness was a problem as well. I found that the source libraries weren't up to date and had a terrible time doing my updates at first. Guaranteed I'll try it again when another version comes out. I agree with Stephen.

Finally, when I went to repartition my drive in order to remove Moblin from my Dell Mini 10, I was confronted w/ a Grub Error 22, which was an absolute nightmare to deal with (the external optical drive w/ another OS boot disk was activated almost randomly after countless previous attempt). I was EXTREMELY excited about Moblin 2.0 when I first saw the videos and I would love to give it another shot if I had different instructions (yes, I'll try again despite the distress it caused me). Any advice of fixing the problems I described? At the moment, I'm thinking of waiting for an upgrade before risking it, but it looks too damn sleek to give up that easy. Thanks for your time! -Steve Hey there Hackintosh,

Second with Ubuntu you will get proper support from ubuntu team where as for Moblin its still not clear who will support thr product other than its Bugzilla. Still Moblin is in early date and has got a great start but it will still take some time for its standarization and yes it will work on your Dell mini 10 as Dell mini 10 has all intel hardware and it supports it pretty well. if you still have any doubt please feel free to write.
