Depends on how you use it. I have an IMAP-Server running on Atom which |
32 |
holds my email archive. Also depends on the Software you use for the |
33 |
IMAP-Server. |
34 |
I can not see why a N270 could not serve a moderate amount of users on IMAP. |

Concerning the "Atom not fast enough for compiling"-Problem. I compiled, |
37 |
run and update a Gentoo System on a AMD Geode LX, which is way less |
38 |
powerfull and it works just fine. |
