Presumably one of the excellent points about using a PowerPC structure is that there is no Intel ME system within it: since the system (X5000) is already marketed as running Ubuntu and Debian (http://www.amiga-shop.net/Amiga-Hardware/New-Amiga-Computers/AmigaONE-X5000-complete-system::790.html http://www.amiga-shop.net/Amiga-Hardware/New-Amiga-Computers...) there's presumably no reason why it couldn't be certified for Qubes OS and find wider audience!?
