But seriously you can something with cheaper and better specs for less that $329 to run Linux.

But as small and quiet and that can drive two 30" monitors?

I have an Eee Box running Linux; it's physically larger, only supports one monitor (as far as I can tell), and the hardware video decoder can only do 720p. (The hardware video decoding is important because the Atom cannot decode 720p H.264 in real time itself.)
