[lug] Linux on Intel Atom?

[Bear Giles]

My Wind was running Ubuntu 9 (beta) without problems.  Well, everything 
but the add-on wireless card, but that's probably my errors.  The wired 
network connection worked fine.

Then it died.

(I'm pretty sure it's just infant mortality, possibly connected with 
having to inserting a compact flash drive.)
