Not sure which /. article was posted, but in the 'it won't run Linux'
side we have:

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/atom-soc-cpu-clover-trail-linux,17607.html
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/opinion/2207369/poor-android-tablet-sales-led-intel-to-deny-linux-support-to-clover-trail

but on the other side we have:
http://www.zdnet.com/intels-new-clover-trail-chip-will-support-android-and-linux-7000004451/
 but that says
  'Intel has plans for another version of this platform directed at
   Linux/Android; however we are not commenting on the platform
   specifics or market segments at this time. Stay tuned.'
