Intel talks Linux, netbooks and rivalry with ARM

“Q: There seems to be some confusion over what Moblin entails
— it appears to be a full Linux distribution, but we have

distribution, much like Fedora or Debian, that people tend to use
in different ways. There are certain operating-system vendors who

provide support, and there are those who take various technologies
from Moblin and incorporate them into their own operating systems
— although, when people do that, they tend to focus on the
user experience.”
