Questions about Moblin-SUSE, etc


I have been looking for a good Linux distribution for a new netbook I got and for a long time was considering using Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Then when I saw the 2.0 Beta for Moblin I switched my mind to possibly using Moblin.
Now I'm confused because I know there is the actual moblin.org website but now I hear how Novell is having an SUSE version of Moblin and also there is word about Xandros, Linpus doing versions of Moblin and even a Moblin version of Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
I'm confused by these versions. Is it the same as Ubuntu in the sense of you have Ubuntu but then Edubuntu and other Ubuntu based distros by Canonical and even Ubuntu derivatives by other non Canononical groups?
Are they basically a Linux distro with a Moblin like desktop (instead of KDE for example)?
Is Moblin kind of like Android, Linux based but maybe it's own separate system?
I am kind of new to reading up on Moblin so am very confused as you can tell. Thank you for your help.
