I now have a dual core Atom N570 netbook (Acer Aspire One model). It didn't boot the hddimage off of a usb stick (SysLinux halted - I'll figure out why later), but I have been having fun booting modified yocto standard Linux images using grub. I put a 2.5" 60 G OCZ SSD in it along with loading Ubuntu. It can build poky minimal from scratch in a few hours and rebuilds the kernel fairly quick (should get downright good once I upgrade the RAM from 1G). At this point, I'm having fun playing with the kernel and the initial ram disk with a custom init. And the nice thing with the SSD installed is that it boots Ubuntu in a few seconds for when I want to make mods to my poky image. It makes for a very cool little development system! Bob
