That's interesting. I run a SheevaPlug with Gentoo onboard. It runs at 1.2G and has half a G of memory. I have no trouble compiling gentoo on this little server. It works as a file server, backup server, web server and portage server (distfiles and portage sync for the gentoos on my network). Is ARM more efficient than the intel atom? -- Regards, Gregory.
