Feiya's Memory Bar is a USB-HDD device (CUFD-H8G).
Notes/Impressions
- Successfully boot off from a USB-HDD with Debian sid installed.
Neither wired nor wireless networking devices are supported by the latest 2.6.25-6 kernel.
atl1e driver is available for the Ethernet, but not yet included in the mainline kernel as of 2.6.25.10.
- For wireless... ndiswrapper?
- Atom N270 processor is faster than I expected. The performance is good enough to run the standard GNOME desktop without any modification.
- Kernel cpufreq function seems working. The CPU frequency is ranging from 800MHz to 1.6GHz.
- The Xorg intel driver with Mesa DRI modules supports OpenGL 3D acceleration, capable of running Google Earth smoothly.
