Can we have a news item for this? Encouraging derivatives is a good idea in my opinion also ask the author his permission to do this
Should we have news item just for this - or what about one mentioning a couple of examples that have been done? So more a story openSUSE is good for derivatives, here're some great ones?
The only problem is it is not named openSUSE but I think that can be ignored
MIght be a result of the current branding guidelines, Andreas

128Mb RAM is too little I suspect. I don't think YaST will run in less than 196M.
Anyway, decent secondhand PCs with comparable performance are available on ebay for about USD25, maybe a little more. :-)
As it ships pre-installed I doubt we need a full fledged yast around this to get an installer running. It's rather 'fixed' hardware, so a simple dd before shipping the sticks might very well be worth it.
Good point. The question (perhaps) is, how do those ARMs perform? I have some 5-6 year old laptops with 1.5GHz Celerons and 512Mb RAM - with 10.x, they were still a very capable work platform, but with 11.4, they're much too slow.
What about if we install 11.1 or 11.4 with Enlightement? we could try and experiment on it, I have some people that would like to try it and see if it's possible, I will send an e-mail to see if I can buy one or two so that we can experiment on that.
Maybe you could try with http://sites.google.com/site/petitelinux/download wich is based on openSUSE 11.4 with Enlightenment.
Petite Linux is an openSUSE build, created using susestudio.com, featuring the Enlightenment (e17) Desktop Environment
Features: Fits on a (live) cd, just insert the cd, reboot, try it out No need for choices, it works as-is No clutter, just functionality
If something like that is possible we could organize a hackfest inside the oSC, what do you think about that?
