Unless the vendor is providing a high-quality linux port, it's probably not
worth to invest much effor on a i.MX31 based netbook. It is effectively
"current generation", and new, i.MX51 based netbooks should come out
to the market soon.
That said, if the price is low enough, and kingyung provides the kernel
sources (in a clean, mainline-friendly way), it might still be a interesting
project.
