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.

"Huge" is generally a good thing on small screens, since it gives you a larger target to hit. And since you'll generally only be doing one thing at the time on such small devices, as long as you can have whatever you're working on open full screen, then the size of the other controls won't matter.
