I have a mail server running with an atom 230 processor (intel original 
board), I installed it about a year ago and had to install the nic 
driver 8101 manually

One of our customers has around 20 kiosks with the atom 330 processors 
(intel original board) runs out of the box with centos 5.3

technically there are just old celeron (pentium4 based) processors with 
low energy consumption, so for the operating system it makes no real 
difference, for your electricity bill it does
