I have also used the XCore86 chip based units successfully. If you network boot the units, you should then use a Debian server, rather than Ubuntu, since Ubuntu doesn't support cmov any more and that's needed for the XCore86 based units. More at http://www.norhtec.com/products/index.html
If you don't want to use network booting, then they will provide you with a pre-installed Ubuntu image on an SD card. regards Roland Giesler +27 (0)72-450-2817 http://www.giesler.za.net Disclaimer: The sender invokes the rule of "exemptus responsibilitus" pertaining to caffeine soluted inductions and/or decantations thereof into tactile communication interfaces and alternative apparatuses with respect to personal computation devices or otherwise implementations of electronic and/or bionic devices.
