I know we talked about this at the openSUSE conference, and I'm glad that you are starting to kick this off, it's great. But, what specific machine are you targeting this to run on to start with? We need some kind of specific platform to aim for besides a semi-vague processor level, in order to get a valid kernel and tool-chain up and running. The kernel specifically is going to be a bit difficult as each individual platform needs tweaks in order to have it work properly due to the lack of discoverable busses (device-tree work notwithstanding). In other words, what box do I need to go buy in order to help make this possible? :) thanks, greg k-h -----Original Message----- HP has some small general purpose ARM-boxes.
