If some powerful system happends to be sold in the consumer market (hint, this announcements are vaporware), I will buy one and build the distribution myself :-)
Here you go: http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/PandaBoard/?kc=rss It's not the usual 512MB and single core machine, it's a 1GB dual core. Thank you for building the distribution for ARM! :)
I have one of these, and it's still a pretty underpowered machine compared to my many-year-old desktop. Nothing to fear just yet...
For mobile applications the small footprint of these boards is ideal, my Beagleboard C3 runs Ubuntu very well, KDE brings it to its knees starting up. No way would it be suitable for full desktop use, but for important one-off applications, it fits the bill, e.g for Software Defined Radio (SDR) it makes possible a very compact transceiver like the SDR-Cube and the BeagleBrick. Other complex single task operations can be supported, telemetry, firewalls, audiovisual streaming, etc. Another plus, with a small LCD screen, it beats lugging a desktop around hands down. One problem I saw with Ubuntu was a USB sound card was reporting lack of bandwidth when I tried using it with my SDR rig and I've yet to try the Beaglebrick Angstrom distribution.
