[ILUG] Anyone using moblin?

[Glen Gray]

I've been using it since the early alpha's on my Dell Mini9, works a 
treat. Latest itteration is excellent and no longer feels like a play 
thing to use. It's the only distro on my mini9 now.

As for the mp3 complaint, understandable. You can install the fully 
licensed flumotion gstreamer codec pack on moblin I believe. I reckon it 
won't be long before there's an rpmfusion variant for moblin to install 
the extra bits and pieces that people would like.
