=== Will fitlet run off-the-shelf, common apps under Windows 7 and Linux?
I read in a few places that Linux on Media boxes could leave users very disappointed, even if they get the desktop environ up, because of the few apps that run on SoCs ===
fitlet is a VERY standard PC in that respect. All Windows and Linux applications should be 100% compatible. <br /><br />Where are the "gotcha's" with other small systems?<br />Architecture (mostly ARM) - fitlet is AMD x86. <br />Non-standard BIOS - fitlet has AMI BIOS with both UEFI and legacy support. <br />Insufficient RAM - fitlet supports up to 8 gb<br />Insufficient storage / no SATA - fitlet has mSATA up to 1 TB or so. <br />Limited graphics, no DirectX / openGL - this was in fact a limitation with fit-PC2, but fitlet has Radeon built-in. <br /><br />Bottom line - performance might not always be high, but compatibility is perfect.
 
=== Does ''FreeBSD'' run on fitlet? ===
FreeBSD works for servers purposes, i.e. in command line mode only, without GUI.
