All of our software runs from a linux console with no direct user interface. It's a quite nice board for embedded purposes, however it wouldn't be a good desktop system. It has a rather anemic 1.6GHz Atom processor. Avnet is our distributor for Kontron. They are quite responsive. I would note that the 1.6GHz version of this board is still undergoing engineering finalization so it is hard to come by.

I'm not a programmer or skilled techie per se, but if I'm able to purchase one from Kontron or other source, I plan on using NetBSD with Openbox window manager. (That should prove interesting, given that I've only used WINDBLOWS and OS X to date.) I would love to read any other experiences you had with the motherboard. P.S. I recently contacted Kontron about purchasing one of these motherboards, but they have not contacted me. Do you know of other sales channels?
