For the moment it should only be an info mail ;) only most people only wanna tu run windows on it *gah*. So i started a little research.

Don't get in a hurry. Linux booted the first time 2 days ago. So we have no prove how stable it is. Also to get it booted is somewhat complicate at the moment. http://nak.journalspace.com/?cmd=displaycommentsdcid=407entryid=407 The kernel have some more os less troubles. The video out i did is more than a hack. Not realy usable for public use yet. Lets wait and develop on this baby to get it stable and evrything working.

Please contact me immediately, as there is a very limited window of opportunity for us to be able to make the necessary changes to get this in before the 2006.0 release. As i sayed no hurry at the moment. Call the development at this time alpha ;) Lets plan it for the next release. Things need some polish. At the Moment only some things are tested.
