Ah, no kudzu. I am so use to it always being there. Why would I not want
it? That is to leave it alone with no kudzu...

Wow that is a lot of information....
Interestingly it shows the bogomips to be 2992 on this OQO mod 2,
whereas /proc/cpuinfo reports it as 800. The processor is a VIA C7-M
Processor 1500MHz, so I am more apt to believe the 800 value.
