Moblin isn't really as of itself a distribution or a Fedora fork
(although clearly it draws some material from Fedora, just as Fedora does
from Debian, and Debian from Fedora and so on).

Moblin is a base upon which you can build netbook and small Linux
distributions. That has several important differences from say Fedora eg
that "It doesn't contain package X" is generally considered a feature not
a bug ;) as the less dependancies in that base the better.
