Take care of the cpu: some Via C3 are not real "i686" cpu: so your
"embedded Centos" will not boot.

VIA Nehemiah is a real i686 cpu (so, no problem): we use Gralinux AS 3
(like Centos 3.8) without any problem, Centos 4 should works too.
VIA Samuel 2 is a i586 (so you will have problems with it if your linux
distro is not full "i386/i586"): impossible to install the OS in it (because
of some i686 binaries in the Linux distro)
