The Atom is an x86 compliant CPU. It has limitations, in that, at least to my knowledge, it does not have the ability to execute instructions out of order to maintain efficiency, but it was meant for low power operation and not speed.
This should work for Debian, however, I would stick to the 32bit version of Debian or any other distros you try out, as there is no support for 64bit on that CPU.

[--help]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents x86info, a program which displays a range of information about the CPUs present in an x86 system.
In order to make full use of this program you need to have the CPU ID and MSR device drivers in your kernel with accessible device files
/dev/cpu/<n>/cpuid and /dev/cpu/<n>/msr.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below.

-a --all
Show all information. Equivalent to -c -f -m -r -mhz.
-c --cache
Show TLB, cache sizes and cache associativity.
-f --flags
Show CPU feature flags.
-m --msr
Dump model specific registers. This feature is currently only supported on a few different processors. Future versions will

Dump MP table showing CPUs BIOS knows about.
-r --registers
Show register values from all possible cpuid calls.
