Heh, if you want to look a bit above that line, you forgot to quote:
- Performance optimizations and features which enable rich
computational and graphically oriented applications and
connected services development
Netbooks today support this processor. Heck, netbooks from 3 years ago
support it just fine as well. I wouldn't recommend anyone run MeeGo on
a netbook that doesn't, it's as simple as that.
It comes down to what works well, and right now, the current build does
for the hardware it was designed for. If you rebuild it for older
platforms, it will not perform as well, and you are behind a huge curve
to try to fix it up to do so.
And still I fail to see why you are trying to compare MeeGo to Ubuntu.
If you like Ubuntu, it's there for you to use, no one is forcing you to
use MeeGo, right?

It's somewhere on build.opensuse.org.

Yes, that are outside of the MeeGo issue, it is where he is trying to
put MeeGo on top of openSUSE-compatible pieces, like NetworkManager.
I'm sure he could use help if you are offering to do so.
