In my work with a Geode system we ran Xubuntu on it without issue. It's 
X86 compatible. No heating problems that I'm aware of.

Ok.

That might be a workable price point.

I actually helped create the Indamix product, and we originally used a

So give it another shot and contact the Indamix developer for more info 
and resources.
