Intel releases Moblin OS Alpha for netbooks
Intel made an Operating System? Oh yes, even though it’s a modified version of Linux (based on Fedora) for netbooks, specifically for installing on Intel hardware, ie., Intel Atom, as well as Core 2.
This is confirmed to work on Dell Mini’s and Acer Aspire One, but Eee’s won’t have working Wi-Fi. Remember, it’s an alpha, so it’s not final yet. Squash those bugs! Read

Linux hits the iPhone!
We knew this day would eventually come, but somehow we’re still misting up a little — Linux has been ported to the iPhone and iPod touch. Dev Team member planetbeing is the mastermind in charge of bringing everyone’s favorite open-source OS to Apple’s handhelds, and while it’s a little rough around the edges (read: no touchscreen drivers, sound, or WiFi / cell radio support), it’s definitely the first step on the road to hacking nirvana. The team is hard at work, and it even sounds like they’re thinking about porting Android in the near future (!), so hit the read link to try it out and lend a hand if you can — or just head on past the break for a quick vid of the port in all its text-scrolling glory.

Ubuntu 8.10
Okay, Ubuntu 8.10 is here, but I still haven’t had time to boot up Ubuntu to upgrade it yet.
But here’s a great tip if you haven’t upgraded as well: Go to terminal and type
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
This will save you time instead of having to download a disk image, mounting it, etc.
