Already runs Xubuntu 13.10.

It supports eMMC cards which are 4x faster than uSD cards.

Boots into Xubuntu between 10 and 20 seconds with the help of the eMMC card that functions similar speeds to SSD.

Becase the 2GB DDR RAM is integrated into the one chip, and the remaining functions integrated into the SoC, there is precious little that needs adding to get a fully functional computer.

At these sort of prices, other manufacturers must race to make similar chips or face extinction from high cost.

Why stop with 2GB RAM? Why not go for a flash SSD controller built into the dice?!
