Hmm..I think the following text confused me from this website: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/netbook-remix
"Ubuntu Netbook Remix leverages Moblin technologies optimized for the Intel Atom processor. Intel and Canonical are working to create a next generation computing experience across a new category of affordable Internet-centric, portable devices; including Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), netbooks, nettops and embedded devices based on Intel Atom processor technology."
I thought the Ubuntu Netbook Remix is result of moblin technologies
