BTW, the IX100 has been discontinued. OpenVox is now selling the next
generation IX110 which is based on Intel Atom.

IX100:

IX110:

Regarding 'cloning'. You could just clone the CF image. How about you try
that and see how far you get? Alternatively you could write a little script
which partitions your CF, creates file systems and installs your custom
astlinux image. That isn't hard either.
