Thanks for the feedback everyone.  I now have a dual core Atom N570 
netbook (Acer Aspire One model).

It didn't boot the hddimage off of a usb stick (SysLinux halted - I'll 
figure out why later), but I have been having fun booting modified yocto 
standard Linux images using grub.  I put a 2.5" 60 G OCZ SSD in it along 
with loading Ubuntu.  It can build poky minimal from scratch in a few 
hours and rebuilds the kernel fairly quick (should get downright good 
once I upgrade the RAM from 1G).   At this point, I'm having fun playing 
with the kernel and the initial ram disk with a custom init.

And the nice thing with the SSD installed is that it boots Ubuntu in a 
few seconds for when I want to make mods to my poky image.  It makes for 
a very cool little development system!

Bob
