I ordered one of these yesterday, mostly just to play with. It is ARM and we might not ever support it in AstLinux. Most of the time it's just not worth keeping up with the vendor upstreams slew of ARM patches for relatively simple things (like kernels). Anyways, I'm planning on configuring most of the applicable packages (asterisk, freeswitch, etc) for whatever dev environment they are providing. They aren't shipping until April or so (probably later). Look for an update from me around then. -- Kristian Kielhofner http://blog.krisk.org http://www.submityoursip.com http://www.astlinux.org http://www.star2star.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to pay...@krisk.org.
