From the Going Smaller dept.:
Novell announced it is developing a Moblin-based version of SUSE Linux that is optimized for Intel Atom-based netbooks. In addition, Intel and Novell today announced a partnership to collaborate and encourage original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) to adopt the Linux-based Moblin distribution.

...In early April, Intel announced it was handing over control of its Linux-based Moblin mobile device stack to the nonprofit Linux Foundation (LF). In its new role as "host" of the open-source Moblin.org community, the LF will offer "technical support" for the group -- and possibly move the stack to embrace platforms beyond Intel's Atom.

Yet judging from the Novell announcement, Intel still appears to be actively promoting the technology.
