More on Moblin
Description from Wikipedia:
Moblin, short for 'mobile Linux', is an open source operating system and application stack for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), netbooks, nettops and embedded devices. Built around the Intel Atom processor, current builds are designed to minimize boot times and power consumption to create a netbook and MID-centric operating system. The netbook/desktop version of Moblin currently supports other chipsets based on the SSSE3 instruction set, such as the Core2 and some Celeron processors.
Commercial products built around Moblin 2 include a Foxconn netbook and an InvenTech smartphone, both announced at Computex 2009. Acer has also announced the replacement of Linpus Linux with Moblin on their Acer Aspire netbooks. More recently, Dell began accepting orders for its Ubuntu Moblin Remix, a Canonical project that builds Moblin using a more full-featured Ubuntu distribution as base . Mandriva has started to offer Moblin's v2 version to all Mandriva distribution and netbook owners.
