Intel Moblin 2.0 has been released recently. A lot of OEM vendors will be shipping products based on Moblin v2.0 for Netbooks, so if you are a Linux user and surveying which one Netbook will fulfill your requirement, you can wait for Netbook based on it to be ship although a lot of Netbooks have being sold in the retail market.

Moblin is just an Intel distribution of Linux (based on Fedora), although it's one that benefits from some unique tweaks and a newly designed user-interface. Moblin is based on the familiar GNOME/GTK desktop, like distros such as Ubuntu, but this is largely invisible because of the UI improvements.

Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partition Image, ntfsclone, partclone, and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Filesystem supported: ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, and HFS+ of Mac OS. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows and Intel-based Mac OS, no matter it's 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla.

Isn't Qubes just another Linux distribution after all? Well, if you really want to call it a distribution, then we're more of a "Xen distribution", rather then a Linux one. But Qubes is much more than just Xen packaging -- it has its own VM management infrastructure, with support for template VMs, centralized VM updating, etc, and also its very unique GUI virtualization infrastructure. What is the main concept behind Qubes? To build security on the "Security by Isolation" principle. Key architecture features:Based on a secure bare-metal hypervisor (Xen)Networking code sand-boxed in an unprivileged VM (using IOMMU/VT-d)No networking code in the privileged domain (dom0)All user applications run in "AppVMs", lightweight VMs based on LinuxCentralized updates of all AppVMs based on the same templateQubes GUI virtualization presents applications like if they were running locallyQubes GUI provides isolation between apps sharing the same desktopStorage drivers and backends sand-boxed in an unprivileged virtual machine(*)Secure system boot based on Intel TXT(*)
