Thanks for the info! I have a core2duo GMA965 notebook and I'll give it a try with Moblin to see how it fares.
I wonder if it'll really take less battery than a regular linux distro. It would make it a good candidate for when running solely on battery power for longer times, to read articles and, perhaps with some modification, have a text editor to program in a very very simple environment (text editor + compiler)
