Judging by Devin's post - who obviously has more experience than I with
these boards (my experience = 0), it would seem that...

- there are at least some variety of these boards

- the processor obviously emulates the 386/586/686 instruction set
(exactly which I don't know - but VIA web page would have something)

- you are likely to encounter EVERYTHING integrated in chipset on the
board, according to Devin again, hardware detection with random success
on a per distro basis.

- better than eMachines? Is this a trick question?
