I'd check the specs of the cpu before you consider purchasing, I have an earlier NorhTec microclient jr (
http://www.norhtec.com/products/mcjr/index.html) and while it is a great piece of hardware, the 200 MHz Vortex86 cpu has no floating point unit which mean that most a lot of linux's don't run out of the box.
I don't if the amithlon kernel has floating point emulation compiled, or if this generatation of Vortex86 has a FPU.
