The CPU on the boards is VIA Mark CoreFusion™ CPU with 533 MHz core. |
| 14 |
That is a CPU (I think that is VIA C3 Nemiah which is newer than the C3) |
| 15 |
with integrated southbridge. I've been running i686 Fedora Core on it |
| 16 |
(By i686 I mean i686 kernel and few applications compiled by hand for |
| 17 |
i686 arch). |

I've use to have one or two VIA EPIA boards which could run only i586 |
| 20 |
software. |

I'll definitely give it a look but I had bad experience with compressed |
| 31 |
file systems in the past. I've tried using Slax or any live cd distro |
| 32 |
for that matter. There are two variations of the board I'm using. One |
| 33 |
with 128 MB RAM and one with 256 MB RAM. The second one has no problem |
| 34 |
whatsoever with running compressed filesystems. But the first one is a |
| 35 |
living nightmare if you try using compressed filesystem. The CPU is slow |
| 36 |
and in combination with small amount of RAM it's a real killer. |
