Meltdown & Spectre Information and Discussion
#76

Acer Aspire One netbook D255E
Intel Atom n455 1.66GHz processor
Manufactured 02/2011
Linux Lite 3.6 32-bit
Fresh install on kernel 4.4.0-93 #116
Variant #1 - no
            #2 - yes
            #3 - yes


updated kernel to 4.4.0-111 #134

Variant #1 - no
            #2 - yes
            #3 - yes
A different article that I read seems to suggest that it is the Intel Atom 32-bit only that is OK. It's suggested that any chip that is x86_64 is vulnerable. I installed LL on the netbook with Windows 7 starter, so no loss there. But if anyone wants to try it on a netbook/laptop/desktop without installing LL, just boot into a live environment via USB, download Jerry's zip file, extract, & then double-click the 'sm-start'. No password required. It'll be an older kernel, but it'll give you an idea for your device.
