If you were at Computex, Novell and our OEM partners provided a sneak peek into the future with the SUSE edition of Moblin running on next-generation netbook hardware from Acer, MSI, and based on Intel’s industry-leading Atom chipsets. If you couldn’t make the trip to Taiwan, check out some pictures from the show including Novell’s booth, the presentations, and how cool the SUSE edition of Moblin looks on the Acer netbook.


While still in beta form, the software received rave reviews by visitors at the event. Netbooks and nettops are clearly hot topics and there is a lot going on in the space. In fact, there has been great press around the potential for Moblin, which you can check out here, here, here and here. Also, our friends at Moblin.org, interviewed director of Client Preloads, Guy Lunardi and Novell’s alliances manager, Mark Longwell,on Novell’s involvement in the project. See that story here.

Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation was also present sharing the foundation’s perception of the new economics that netbooks and nettops are introducing. In fact, the Linux Forum was particularly well attended.

Stay tuned for more to come from Novell on Moblin.
