One of these:
http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5422
They aren't cheap, but it allows me to retire my entire ARM
machine estate and replace it with one machine, with capacity
to spare.
As a side effect, there will be a give-away organiezed of my
various arm machines that are thereby deprecated for my own use,
including:
Toshiba AC100 (laptop)
GuruPlug (plug computer)
VIA APC (ITX)
Compulab TrimSlice
Compulab SBC-A510 (mini-ATX)
Cornfed Servers ConServer (i.MX6, 4-core, 4GB of RAM IIRC, built in
mains PSU), mini-ATX
Arndale Octa
The deal is this:
1) I will post you one of these (if you are in Europe, otherwise
shipping costs will be prohibitive).
2) In return I would like you to:
2.1) Get as current a u-boot, or customized fork thereof (if
applicable) up and running on it (IIRC AC100 requires a customized
version called SOSBOOT)
2.2) Get an appropriate LT mainline kernel up and running on it
(some of the above are best supported by older LT branches, e.g.
AC100 seems to be best supported by 3.18.x LT branch kernels at
the moment)
3) Most importantly, get RedSleeve up and running on it (ideally
both 6 and 7)
4) Produce working RSEL image(s) for the device
5) Document the process on the RedSleeve wiki.
I can additionally offer any of the above (I have more than one
of some of them) as a bounty for anyone who can get an installer
image for RedSleeve put together, using tools like lorax (what
CentOS guys use). Anaconda has been working on ARM (including
armv5tel for some time now), so this should be possible, within
the constraints of what the boot loader can handle.
If you are interested in doing this for any of the above, please
contact me off-list. Apart from the ConServer board, you should
be able to google the detailed spec (Cornfed Servers, sadly, went
bust since I got the board). Should you wish it, an @redsleeve.org
email address is also available if you're willing to undertake
any of the above. In most cases it shouldn't take you more than
a day or two to get things researched, compiled and tested. Most
of the above devices are relatively well supported by other, .deb
based distros.

ARM with 128GB of RAM??? I've never heard of such a thing! Tell me
more! :)

Thanks Jacco! That worked rather well. I do have a question
about
the repos now. I've been seeing some chatter about them here, but
I
just wanted to ask why they're in a bit of disorganization?
There's
an el7 & el7-devel in the main directory, the el7 seems abandoned
in
favor of the el7-devel. I was just wondering why it's not using
the
layout you would find in, say, centos?
Because their process has always been more streamlined. We have had
some bouncing between maintainers where Jacco's branches have become
more up to date than my own. I'm working on getting things unified
and back on track. Hopefully things will become much more sensible
in the near future, especialy when Bjarne's work on getting Koji
infrastructure up is replicated on my new monster ARM machine with
128GB of RAM. :)
They have el6, el7, and those
point to the latest minor version's directory, that way yum repos
need
no change to point to the latest minor version.
That is what we are doing with the el6 repository as of recently.

What can we do to improve til boot SD?
All the RSEL6 boot SD's are broken due to yum repositories moved.
Also they should have the RSEL 6.7 rootfs.
I don't know if the RSEL7 SD's are OK and available?

Has anyone had any luck in getting RSEL 6/7 working on the
Raspberry Pi 3?
I just bought one today, and tried using an actively working RSEL7
sd card
from one of my Raspberry Pi 2s, and got only the "color square" (a
screen
it shows when it doesn't have what it needs to boot).

I first updated to the latest kernel from here:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/el7-devel/el7/7.2/extra/RPMS/
From there on it was just move the SD card from the pi 2 to the pi
3.
