Re: [gentoo-embedded] need for a small form factor embedded linux device

[Marcus Priesch]

Hi Ned, 

thanks for your answer, the nail board looks very promising to me, i
think when only using it, some bluetooth stuff and a nifty oled display
it should fit ... at least for a prototype ... and it should be wearable
too ;)

thanks a lot for the links, and stay tuned, if the project starts, i
will drop you a note ... and ... maybe you will join us when we have
more than an idea ... ;)

greetings to wherever you are ;)

marcus.
