Thanks for the link guys.

I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu on an Atom PC that currently runs XP. There is no CDRom drive. Can you install from a flash drive? And is the Atom PC powerful enough to run Linux?

Yup, if the machine is able to boot from the flash drive it should work. Just create a bootable USB stick using the ubuntu CD image:

I installed Ubuntu on my gf's mini laptop which ran way too slow with windows 7 and she was very happy So, probably.

Good luck with it
