I've installed Gentoo on a couple of Beaglebones. Being a source-based distro, ARM support on Gentoo is stellar. IMHO, ARM is slowly replacing x86 and this is a great opportunity for Gentoo to grab some user share. Here's my greatest ever contribution to this list: buy NASDAQ:ARMH. Anyway, it's using DisplayLink on the ARM system that I'm worried about. Linux support at all seems to be a matter of disagreement: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/DisplayLink http://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61689 > If you have not purchase the panda board yet (Arm A9) there are > some new, smoking Arm (A-15) dev boards out that look very keen: > > http://www.howchip.com/shop/content.php?co_id=ArndaleBoard_en That's a beauty and scheduled for November. http://www.arndaleboard.org > http://www.phytec.com/products/system-on-modules/phycore/omap5430/ > > And of coarse the venerable Samsung Arm Chromebook: > > http://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os- > devices/samsung-arm-chromebook > > (highly recommended by Vapier) Nice one.
