The Installation of Windows XP took us a long time, you should plan with about 2 hours. Afterwards Windows XP is running good, if take into consideration that the performance of the CPU is so slow. If you are going to run multiple applications or "performance hungry" applications at the same time, that will be too much for the Geode LX CPU. So the performance is enough for writing text and surfing through the web, but also if you want to watch some films you will fail because of sluggish playback. 3D applications do not work. By the way, we detected a problem with USB devices. So it is possible, that your USB devices will not work after fresh start (cold start) of Windows XP. To fix the problem you have to remove and plugin again your device. If this is caused through a firmware or driver problem, we were not able to figure out, especially this problem did not occur under Linux.

The Installation of Kubuntu Linux was even faster then the one from Windows XP, after 45 minutes the system was operational. The performance under Linux is only just enough to work, but it also not enough to do more than Office or Internet. If you start multiple applications at the same time, you will notice very fast that the Geode LX is at its limits. Hibernation of Kubuntu worked fortunately offhand.
