I had problems with the first of these systems I tried (the system was
always on, took no notice of the front power or reset buttons) until I
upgraded the firmware (still available on the Intel site). Now, whenever

running Linux I automatically upgrade it and let it run free, no longer
shackled to the whims of rotating media.
