The main motivator for this was a pure can it be done and some fun.
There are a lot of cheap(especially Chinese) Netbooks/Media devices all based around similar hardware,
they have limited disk space 32GB & 2GB memory available, all non-upgradeable.
My conclusion is you can get a cheapish small device for "on-the-go" and still have Linux Lite.
These Intel Chips are pretty good.
The N3xxx series vs a common J1900 Celeron 50% less power and good performance.
Also they compete very well with the common mid range Core Duo's,
They benchmark @ 1200 ~1800, but take 5 ~10 X more power(35~65 watt)
