I'm having to return my current Linuxed RiscPC to the computing department (it was borrowed, as a temporary experiment), and aside from my home RiscPC, connected via a measly 14k4 modem, I have no Internet-accessible ARM Linux machines. Therefore I thought I'd float a proposal. What would people think about having a generally-accessible (well, for developers, in the main) ARM Linux machine located somewhere on the Internet? Something preferably with huge wodges of disk space; ideal for long and repetitive testing, or perhaps to nip on and check out the status of some bug on the latest compiling tools. It could also serve as a distribution point for ARM Linux software. I could, for example, host this via our 2Mb/s line at wincoll.ac.uk, and also provide facility for quick restart on kernel panic. Undoubtedly, people would suggest perhaps using a Netwinder, rather than a RiscPC. All I can say is that I can get hold of RiscPC spare bits more easily. Perhaps facility already exists for this sort of thing at netwinder.org, and this suggestion is totally redundant.
