Hey Mike!   
      
    MP> If I might ask, what type of machine are you running this linux

   Supermicro SYS-5018A-MHN4, which is a 1U rackmount with a Supermicro uATX   
   A1SRM-2758F motherboard.

   I've seen a few NAS servers with the mini-itx version of the C2000 Atom boards.

   This one I bought new and it has been 100% Linux since it's very first boot.    
   Also the drives have never known anything but Linux.  I haven't had any   
   problems with it relating to linux compatibility other than the DRM driver for   
   the onboard AST2400 video.  To overcome this I am using vesafb instead but   
   plan to test out the DRM driver on the newest kernels soon.  It's only been   
   since linux-2.24 kernels that the DRM driver hasn't been working.  Also this   
   system is starting to show it's age and might need to be replaced in the near   
   future.  I'd buy another one except not in a rackmount case.  Also, also the   
   C3000 Atoms look tempting, especially the 16 core jobber but then it needs   
   DDR4 ram which means the 32G I have now would have to be replaced which is a   
   tad expensive (ECC).  If this board requires replacing I am inclined to buy a   
   new replacement A1SRM-2758F and install it in the rackmount.   
      
   Life is good,
