Bummer thanks for testing. Its been my experience that Dosbox Distro detects the audio devices correctly on most atom chipsets that dont have hdmi out. 🙁

The N550 should be dual core with two way SMT for each core. It would make a nice MIDI emulator to pair with a real DOS machine.

Can you guide me on how you do it? TinyCore or Debian? Tutorial?
I thinking of doing it on Debian/Ubuntu, since I am slightly much more familiar with apt-get.

I'm thinking of having DosBoxDistro, installed into the Harddrive's partition, dualboot from there.

Purely DosBox, for DOS gaming....
But again, I am not a Linux Guru. Can you help?

Midi Emulator? Well, I do have a RealDOS machine.
I saw some phil's computer lab video, a Roland emulator, running on Windows.

Is there a Roland emulator, run on linux?
I looking for guide/tutorials in vogons... just need a real guide, coz I ain't no Guru yet.. 😀

@Panties, N550 is dual-core CPU with hyper-threading, so each physical core has 2 logical threads for the operating system. Therefore you see 4 cores in task manager.

Oh.. HT on each core, on 2 Local Core, so that's why it shows 4 Processors. 😊 Do you have any ideas on making this system, a useful one? (FYI, I just installed Archlinux last night.. I haven't install Dosbox on arch yet...) 🤣

I have a similar netbook, EEE PC 1015PEM. I have a tiny plan of making it to run my stock portfolio with software i have written myself, but that's it. (It can handle those few divisions and multiplications easily 😜)
A little, low-power machine with battery (almost like UPS) seems to be not too bad option for that.

I have windows 7 on it and just to try it out, i have dosbox installed with few games. It's fine for that.

I run Munt and FluidSynth for this. It sounds like you can use Falcosoft Midi Player (FSMP) in Wine as well, although I haven't tried that.
