“Speed is a key issue for all Linux distros, and Fedora
is taking an interesting approach by compiling all of its software
for i686 with ‘special’ optimization for Intel Atom. What that
means is instead of the typical generic x86 compilation, all apps
could potentially run faster. Fedora now does have a specific
netbook Moblin graphical interface and a Fedora 12 Moblin Fedora
Remix too — who said Fedora (or Red Hat) wasn’t interested in
netbooks or the Linux desktop?

“There is also an enhanced NetworkManager for network
configuration, Bluetooth improvements as well as improved IPv6
support. “
