A password-less network-accesible backdoor maybe unknown to the system owner sounds dangerous to me: I recommend documenting that very clearly (at least) everywhere passwords are currently menioned in documentation. > On a very general view, we have achieved a lot, but still not enough > to get the LetuxOS eco-system into a self-sustaining mode.

Ideas how to magically break it? Contributing as certified OSHW your own work on designing hardware helps encourage developers contributing to getting the devices supported in mainline linux and u-boot. Getting bootloader and kernel code mainlined encourage distributors integrate and maintain support the the devices in their distributions. Having devices supported in distributions helps users prioritize the devices over other (lesser free) options available to them. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
