 Hello Steve,

Jeff copied me on this.

Works fine for me.  I wanted the low power for a telemetry project so I used
an SSD.  There are some caveats around an SSD.

I can send you the particulars around what I used when I get home.  I am
running CENTOS 5.4.

You might want to watch this thread, if you guys are still looking at
Atom-based work.

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
