I can see some instructions < http://tuxmobil.org/cpu_transmeta.html > for many
platforms and discussions about performance <
http://uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0306.2/1764.html ,

Not much coming up here:

I'd probably recommend Gentoo Linux (easy to compile for maximisation of
performance on your platforms), but it's more geek-oriented than most.
I'm giving you the URLs above, but I'll admit there's no good answer in this
