Canonical has released Ubuntu 8.04 Mobile Internet Device Edition, a version of the Ubuntu Linux distribution geared towards netbooks, mobile internet devices, UMPCs, subnotebooks, or whatever they're called this day of the week. It has a whole slew of optimisations geared specifically towards Intel's Atom platform, as well as a set of open source applications designed specifically for MIDs, all courtesy of Intel's Moblin project.

"...geared towards netbooks, mobile internet devices, UMPCs, subnotebooks, or whatever they're called this day of the week. "
My understanding is that there is a "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" that are for netbooks/subnotebooks/UMPC's and this one is for the smaller, keyboardless internet devices with touch-screen such as the Nokia N810.
Correct me if I'm wrong here.
