Sorry to wander off-topic....

I've been trying to source MIPS and MIPS64 in the US, but I've had a
lot of trouble finding them. They appear to be more popular in India
and China. I thought I tracked down a MIPS dev board, but the store
did not carry it.

Can you make any recommendations for a MIPS or MIPS64 test board
that's reasonably priced?

It would be nice if it could run, say, Debian 8 or Fedora and a
Buildbot slave for daily testing.
