Moblin 2.0 - A New Way to Make a Netbook Sing With Linux

"As the Netbook market becomes thoroughly saturated with models from all the major PC vendors, the opportunity exists to explore new options for the operating system. Asus was first to market in late 2007 with their Eee PC and has since turned out more variations on that theme than you can shake a stick at. The original Eee PC boasted a Linux OS as one of its ways of keeping cost down, but later models have added Windows to the mix.

"The Moblin project started out in life as an operating system targeted at the Mobile Internet Device (MID) platform but has morphed into a prime candidate for the Netbook world. With the release of the Moblin v2 beta in late May came the push specifically targeted at Netbooks designed around the Intel Atom processor family. A transition of project stewardship from Intel to the Linux Foundation also took place between the releases of Moblin v1 and v2."
