So today I was successfully able to install DSL-N on my Hitachi Vision Plate. I used a 2GB compact flash card that I connected to my desktop computer using a IDE to compact flash adaptor. You could accomplish the same with a usb compact flash card reader. I downloaded DSL-N form http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-n/. Using Nero I burned the ISO that I downloaded and then booted from it the CD that i burned. To boot from a CD you must change the boot order in your BIOS. After DSL-N successfully booted from the CD I then did an install to the compact flash card.

DSL-N was able to boot on the Vision Plate it's slow but promising. I have not been able to get the touch screen to work as yet and there is no keyboard. I have to use my usb keyboard and mouse to navigate on the Vision Plate. I'm getting somewhere with this it's just taking some time. I noticed that there is a mobile version of Ubuntu that has not been release as yet (http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile).
