Debian with LXDE.

I can run Ubuntu 9.10 on the HD2 though and it's nice and snappy.

Bah, LXDE is big and bloated! I use a pure Openbox install with Guake as a terminal emulator. Only reason for having X is that I want a graphical web browser.

Aye, and Via's line-up cover the places where the Atom doesn't cut it. On the other hand, nVidia might be trying to get the contract for the CPU's in the next generation gaming consoles. I can imagine they got a big hole in their wallet after everyone chose the PPC/Ati route for the current ones.

Well, I wouldn't be hanging around AO if I weren't a geek! :lol:
