Well, certainly not pclos! Why not Google Linux and ARM and see what comes up?

Those CnM 'netbooks' (they are not a true netbook more of an internet device that does netbook like actions) are quite limited due to the way they put WinCe on there.

If it boots from an external usb or from sdcard then, an inatll of Linux may work as a live media/poormans install, subject to ARM architecture's compatibility.     

If you have yet to buy one I would look at a different model that may not be a potentially locked down

i don't think you can change it to another os, this kind of devices are locked to whatever was put in first place

it runs slow because it is low and has very limited resources

i agree with all said previously, this is not a netbook, it is a big palm pilot, a great calculator with internet access
