Intel will include a new Linux-based operating system in netbooks in the near future, as the operating system in question is known as Moblin 2 at this point in time in its alpha state. This new operating system was specially designed to run on Atom-based devices, delivering superior boot times and an unique Internet connection manager. At this point in time, it will be shipped as a standard installation of the lightweight Xfce desktop environment as a placeholder while it’s still in the alpha stage, alongside programs including Pimlico and the aforementioned unique Internet connection manager.
