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."
