I wonder what Intel thinks about the Fedora Project adding Moblin as  
just another desktop environment in the upcoming Fedora 12 release?  
Then it's available for desktops, notebooks, etc.

I know the Moblin project switched from an Ubuntu/Debian base to a  
Fedora base for Moblin 2.0, so it seems they would have some type of  
relationship with the Fedora Project now. How that works or where  
Intel falls into that I have no idea.

On a side note, the 32-bit version of the upcoming Fedora 12 release  
will be compiled with optimizations for the Intel Atom processor.

That plus the Moblin desktop will make Fedora 12 a nice choice for  
netbooks I believe, or at least I am looking forward to it. :)
