Hi Guys, We need an entry in Ralf's FAQ before it goes live, so please comment on/annotate the following:
3.2 Debian A Debian-MIPS port is currently underway, and dates back to the packaging efforts of Vincent Renardias in 1997. Current efforts are being bootstrapped using SGI/Linux as a base, and dpkg compiles natively, nearly ``out of the box.'' In addition to the SGI version, some interest has been shown in little endian platforms. Keep an eye on the Debian-MIPS Port page <http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/> for developments. Ralf's dists section currently looks like this: Linux distributions 3.1 RedHat For MIPSeb, there's Rough Cuts Linux, previously known as Hard Hat Linux, which is most of Red Hat Linux 5.1 ported for MIPSeb. You can get this at ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/hardhat. It is also bundled along with M68k, UltraSparc and PowerPC in a package called "Rough Cuts" pressed by Red Hat, and available wherever Red Hat products are sold. This is a very convenient way to get it without having to download 280MB. You can order Rough Cuts directly from Red Hat at http://www.redhat.com/product.phtml/RC1000. As well, there's a distribution based on Red Hat 5.2 that's targetting the Cobalt Qubes; those binaries will work perfectly on other MIPSel architectures available at ftp://intel.cleveland.lug.net/pub/Mipsel.
