I had Ubuntu Netbook Remix on it and the the Moblin UI experience is considerably better than Ubuntu. All of the hardware works with no problem. The WIFI speed on Moblin is much faster. Not sure why, but it is. I have been able to install Skype, Firefox 3.5 and Google Chrome. Firefox takes awhile to load, but works smoothly. I really do not care for the Moblin web browser. For a beta OS Moblin is pretty stable. Last week I installed Moblin on my EEE 1000HE and I have to say I am very impressed.

I had the notion that they may be trying to fight over the MID-cellphone domain. For me it is disappointing again to see them going for the the netbooks just as I am disappointed when Google is talking about fighting MS there. MS is loosing the battle on cells and MIDs will be the platform for the next gen smartphones. So why not just concentrate there and do your best? As stated I don't know what to think now after reading this - the scope of Miblin2 should have been <7" with emphasis on 3.5-5" size devices. As an introduction to moorestown cell devices.

Might be worth another try though.
