Intel seems to really enjoy these netbooks. Besides the Atom processors, the company has neatly created a personal Linux OS, especially designed for the Atom processor. Moblin is the name of this modified Linux version and you should give it a chance if you have a netbook around. It might replace that Windows XP you might be using currently.

Moblin is available as an alpha release for now but we’re hoping it will grow to a final version. The software was built off of the GNOME Mobile platform and will use the Clutter and GUPnP open source technologies which are also properties of Intel. Let’s see what manufacturer will offer the first netbook with Moblin on it.
