My 2 cents here.

By coincidence I test installed the same Daily on an atom netbook yesterday
(32bits).
I had no issues with it. (installed from scratch twice)

@Mitch
- MATE iso ships with sys-apps/gnome-disk-utility that is imho superior to
gparted.
- RE: /etc/init.d/xdm stop.. I guess the command you should use is
systemctl restart lightdm

Cheers
