I ended up giving up on Linux (I'd been running Xubuntu) and slapping XP on my 2133. I use it for learning to program my Propeller demo board (and a couple other Microcontroller demo boards I've picked up that have friendly Windows IDEs), and it does a fine job of that. I'll admit it was was disappointing just how much grief drivers for Linux ended up being on a machine that shipped *with Linux* on the built-in SSD.

(Among other things there were two different proprietary video drivers offered by VIA, both of which were ugly hacks of the Xorg tree, had contradictory sets of limitations, and neither of which was particularly reliable...)

Obviously I regret not waiting until the Atom-powered 2140 came out before buying. :^b
