Mac OS X Despite reports to the contrary, current Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard builds do not support the Intel Atom processor. The report that support had returned is a fake, and the most recent build 10C540 still does not support the Atom processor. C'est tout.

What are you talking about? I can't speak for Ubuntu, but I ran Slackware and Arch on some of the first Atom machines and there wasn't any recompiling needed except some driver modules to support some of the netbook hardware. Also, if you didn't notice, vanilla Windows XP/Vista/7 all run as well and you can't tell me they've just happened to be using a special compiler flag all this time. Methinks maybe you are confusing Atom with some other chip?
