After booting on the usb key and checking the hardware works, the installation process is like a one click button.The led on the usb key starts flashing indicating it's working and then you wait.The EPIA M10000 is slow, ok, but after 3 hours without any message or progress bar moving, just the led flashing, I stopped everything.By comparison, the 9w took 10 minutes to copy its files, giving me a running lxde desktop.I'm sure the modern installation method is much more complex and can't be compared, but the final result must be very close.

I didn't look for Debian, only Ubuntu.Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it.I just downloaded the live iso. The installation manual claims to support 32 bits VIA processors.

I don't follow. What was the problem?

Debian still maintains a non-PAE kernel.
