DIY Dual Atom Nettop System
,----[ Quote ]
| Wow! It booted right up! Ubuntu saw all the hardware just fine, and even
| reported the CPU as a Quad-Atom system! Intel says that the hyperthreading in
| the Atom causes the Dual CPU to appear as four processors, so that is normal.
| I went ahead and installed Ubuntu, and was finished with that in 15 minutes,
| as usual. Boot the installed system, do my normal configuration and package
| installations, and it looks very, very good. Programs start and run quickly,
| including Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice.org.

All-in-one Nettops resurrecting desktop market
,----[ Quote ]
| A category long dominated by Apple's $1,200 iMac is suddenly rife with
| nice-looking imitators that pack less power than traditional Windows
| desktops, but are also gentler on the wallet. They're a subcategory of
| desktop PCs called Nettops, and, like Netbooks, they're generally defined as
| a computing platform powered by the Atom processor that runs either Windows
| XP or a version of Linux. Combined with the all-in-one form factor and a
| smaller screen than most desktops (between 15 inches and 19 inches), they're
| essentially the Netbooks of the desktop category.
