Via-specific Linux distro eyes UMPCs (LinuxDevices)

LinuxDevices introduces EpiOS, a Gentoo-based Linux distribution for Via Epia mini-ITX boards. "EpiOS is a hardware-specific Linux distribution for Via Epia boards. It is based on Gentoo and KDE, and aims to support traditionally problematic Via processor features, such as hardware MPEG and cryptography acceleration, "out-of-the-box." For example, the project relies on software from the OpenChrome project, in order to support Via's advanced graphics features."
