Novell plans to create and market a Moblin-based product for low-end laptops called netbooks, said Ron Hovsepian, Novell's president and chief executive.
He said Novell also will establish a laboratory in Taiwan to foster the adoption of Moblin. The company plans to work with the Taiwan Moblin Enabling Center, a joint effort of Intel and the Taiwan Institute for Information Industry, to validate hardware designs based on the operating system, Hovsepian said.
Moblin is a variant of the Linux operating system that Intel launched in 2007. Last month, the non-profit Linux Foundation took over as host of the open-source effort that has been working to develop and refine Moblin. Novell, which already markets Linux-based software, began contributing to the Moblin effort last October.
