Ok, so I realized that if I'm going to be fair about this, in addition to trying Moblin on the nettop, I really should try the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR). I've mentioned several times that I have tried it, very briefly, on the HP Mini-Note, and the VIA CPU and Graphic adapter caused it to be unusably slow. Now that I have a very "standard" Intel Atom-based system, on which it should work well, I can hopefully give it a fair chance.
