If so I'd recommend a lighter distro like Lubuntu or Bohdi<br>

<pre wrap="">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.
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>
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.

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
