Computer World has a great article reviewing the new Moblin netbook Linux for desktops. In their opinion it’s a real winner.

A few of the highlights:

• a Linux desktop that’s built on top of a Fedora Linux framework; uses GNOME for its desktop and applications, and will rely on Novell/SUSE to get customized versions of the desktop pre-installed on the Taiwanese OEM (original equipment manufacturers) netbooks.
• Moblin gives you functions instead of applications from a top menu bar that’s hidden until you need it. So unless you use an app a lot it’s not going to show.
• To see what’s happening on your Twitter and Facebook accounts, you can see what’s what with you social network friends right from the M-Zone interface.
• Once up and running, the desktop felt incredibly fast. The author was using a low end computer and he said it was as fast as a more tricked out pc.
