http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79954 "Dockstar is essentially a Sheevaplug with 128MB RAM, no real-time clock, and an added 4-port usb hub (comparison)" My personal opinion is that you might as well buy a SheevaPlug. I really see no point in buying a device with such a limited amount of RAM, has no real time clock *and* requires dismantling in order to work with it. It's cheap, but limited. As far as I know, from reading this list, is that Slackware ARM works on the dockstar already. If someone wants to write some documentation that I can put on the web site, then I'll happily put it there; but for the very limited time I have to spend on Slackware, I'd rather spend it on more beefy devices. When developing Slackware ARM, this is how I determine where to spend my time: The thing with ARM devices is that they're geared for a specific job, and it doesn't mean they're worth while putting a full OS such as Slackware on it. If you have a device such as the Sheeva or OpenRD, then they're suplied in order to be a general purpose device -so they have more onboard hardware, graphics, video, more RAM, eSATA and so on. _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
