    I just stumbled into this system and I have to say for a desktop system
    this isn’t an ideal system. -but- from an embedded systems perspective, this
    netbook could have some more industrial and specialized uses. Loading a RTOS
    version of linux or freebsd , I can think of some devious uses for this netbook.
    At the very least, I could see someone doing some mods, slapping an aircard on it,
    a usb wireless g device, setting up a hidden wireless network
    and then hiding it at the office as a secret way of hiding an outside internet connection to by pass company proxies for example.
    So from a hacker’s perspective this is a very cheap and affordable tool to add to the collection
