I had problems with the first of these systems I tried (the system was always on, took no notice of the front power or reset buttons) until I upgraded the firmware (still available on the Intel site). Now, whenever I liberate one of these machines from its miserable life of servitude running Linux I automatically upgrade it and let it run free, no longer shackled to the whims of rotating media.
