    So this may be a bit odd but does anyone know if the Sylvania netbook that was sold a couple years back with the VIA 8505 cpu and Windows CE embeded can be formatted and switched over to a linux distro? I can get one for really cheap and the only use I would have for it is to be able to do that. Thanks in advance.
