I have a Utilite, and it works fine here, running a BSD. I don’t know
if anything bad happens running whatever Linux they ship.

The images shipped by OpenBSD do not work on the Utilite.  This is
because _every_ board currently has to be manually defined in the code.
With a few additional code, the Utilite would work as well.

I have been using the machine for a while now, and it’s been a rather
stable companion, compiling the src tree and lots of ports.  That said,
I have not clocked the machine to the maximum of 1.2GHz, so I can’t
tell how it reacts when it’s heated even more.
