moblin gone AWOL? Posted Jun 3, 2008 19:05 UTC (Tue) by sdalley (subscriber, #18550) [Link] While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.moblin.org/ The following error was encountered: Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.moblin.org The dnsserver returned: Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query. This means that: The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct.Not very confidence inspiring.
moblin gone AWOL? Posted Jun 3, 2008 21:00 UTC (Tue) by elanthis (guest, #6227) [Link] Works fine here. Don't blame moblin.org if your ISP sucks :p
Xandros and Intel cooking up Battery Saving Software Posted Jun 4, 2008 6:37 UTC (Wed) by muwlgr (guest, #35359) [Link] With Asus EEE being a reality, these Atom Netbooks sound like a premature hype. Wait and see, I would say.
Xandros and Intel cooking up Battery Saving Software Posted Jun 4, 2008 9:36 UTC (Wed) by nedrichards (subscriber, #23295) [Link] Given that the new EEE is using an atom chip and a Xandros OS I think you could retitle this story "New EEE's battery will last 25% longer"
