About time, actully it is not the OS which makes the UPMC, it is the cost. Who is going to pay $900 for a UPMC. Since now it runs Linux, intel can optimise the OS for the CPU in which case a 500 MHz CPU based on Core Solo (yup single core) is enough for it. 8 GB internal memory with expension in the form of USB sticks or Memory card
