Re: [clug] low power device for VPN end point

One user, maybe occasionally two or three.  The Atom performance on the 
CheckBoxes is impressive, but pricey, starting at US$1000.  Are there 
homebrew Atom units>  I can see some on AliExpress that are based on 
Atom Z3735, and booting to Windows and Android, for home media centre 
stuff.  A quick googling around says that installing Linux onto Bay 
Trail architecutre (the Z3735) might not work.

Also, I'm struggling to find a simple benchmark shootout between ARM and 
Atom, even to find if they're in the same ballpark.  Not sure why.
