<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Since it is a Via board, you would need
a linux distro designed for ARM processors, an old Mint distro for
a x86 would not work. Then depending on the model Epia-M720 to
M920 models have between 1 to 1.2 Ghz, so a lighter distro would
be better.<br>
<br>
ARM is in the Raspberry Pis, so you could try one of the RasPi
distros. I looked further and I found one that seems more
developed; Arch Linux, here is the site <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://archlinuxarm.org/">http://archlinuxarm.org/</a><br>
<br>
And another reference to RPi distros (ARM support):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://elinux.org/RPi_Distributions#Bodhi">http://elinux.org/RPi_Distributions#Bodhi</a> , This has quite a few
distros that are worth looking at. I have never used an ARM
distro yet, just never had the time, but very interesting.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all.I have a few of the above motherboards and would like to give them a go.I would like to use one for my workbench (due to the little size) and wanted to install Linux on it. Just to browse projects websites like instructables, and play with my arduino.Has someone done it successfully? What distro of Linux should I install.On first instance I tried with an old CD with LinuxMint (just to see if it works) but it stops at "NetworkManager" and doesn't go further...Many thanks in advance.Have a nice weekend.Antonio
