I did a trip into the Fit-PC2 BIOS.
Is it true that I cannot start a Fit-PC2 on a specific time e.g. 8 every morning?

I blogged about my findings yesterday http://www.version2.dk/artikel/16711 With Ubuntu 9.10 (with the Compulab kernel) I often had load 5 - but after removing the C6 sleep from the BIOS I got significantly better response rates and much lower load - see http://www.version2.dk/modules/xphoto/cache/21...

I have just hacked my BIOS and found HUGE improvement with Ubuntu Linux.
Irads - any further BIOS information would be nice. I suggest to make an overview in http://www.fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php?t ... tware#BIOS

It helped me a lot

I have one of the older Fit-PC2 boxes, which does not boot automagically on power-on cf. http://www.fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fit-PC2_FAQ "Starting from May-2010 fit-PC2 and fit-PC2i support 'auto-on'. Older fit-PC2 (rev 1.21) does not boot automatically when power is resumed." Is there any w...

How fast did the graphics appear?
There is quite a difference between the HW-accellerated drivers (for U9.04/8.10) and the Vesa driver

Unetbootin is cool - but Mandriva 2009 and 2010 is not supported (same as Ubuntu 9.04)

I also have problems to find a way to transfer Mandriva to a USB stick. Most like this is somehow coupled to the fact that there is a Mandriva on USB stick product out there.

BTW; Compiz works very well on the Fit-PC2 with Mandriva
