[lug] Atom Based Computers

[Stephen Queen]

I was considering buying an atom cpu based mini-itx computer for an embedded
project. Before I spent any money on it though, I wanted to see how
difficult it is to load Linux on such a computer. I use debian for most of
my embedded  projects, since it is ported to so many architectures. When I
looked at the debian releases, I see nothing aimed at an atom. I know that a
number of popular netbooks use Linux, so Linux does run on an atom. Can you
just use a release that is for the i386? Has anyone done this and have some
warnings or caveats to share?

Thanks,
Steve
