I know that NI doesn't support LabVIEW for Linux very much (only few old distros are supported), but I have a question that I didn't find searching in the forum and in this group:
is it possible to develop a LabVIEW application working on a Moblin distribution (for a netbook, for example)?
Is the LV RTE dependent from any module not included in a Moblin distribution?

LabVIEW on Linux doesn't depend on too much. It depends on X windows, libGL, and libstdc++.so.6. I would guess that all of those are available on Moblin. Try it and see what happens.
Our officially supported distributions are based mostly on driver support (i.e., which distributions our hardward is supported on since that's much harder to support across distributions) and testing effort. We can't test on every distribution, so we have to pick a few popular ones and test those. We like to make our installer work on any distribution we can, though, so if you run into trouble then let us know.
