It should definitely be able to run linux.
http://www.ministrymobile.com/MoMAweb-technology.htmlEve, the first x86 compatible mobile gaming console. Eve is based upon VIA\'s new Grace platform, a low power consumption, high performance platform not dissimilar to that found on the forthcoming EPIA N motherboards.
Grace features the ultra-small Eden-N CPU, CN400 chipset with MPEG2 decoding and MPEG4 acceleration, and VT8237 Southbridge, and is by accounts a little thinner than the EPIA N, with slightly different I/O ports.
On Eve, this currently translates to a 533MHz Eden-N CPU, S3 Unichrome Pro Integrated Graphics, 640x480 pixel 4\" TFT screen, 128MB DDR266 SDRAM, 20GB Hard Drive, 2 x USB 2.0 ports, Microphone and Headphone sockets, Compact Flash slot, Smartcard slot, S-Video NTSC/PAL TV Out and integrated 802.11b Wireless LAN. The device is to be powered through a DC-In jack or using two hotswappable Lithion-Ion batteries, and MoMA plan to make the screen detachable, and the controllers swappable for different games. We don\'t know if one of these replacement controllers will be a wee keyboard, but we could always plug into one of the USB 2.0 ports.
