I've installed Gentoo on a couple of Beaglebones.  Being a
source-based distro, ARM support on Gentoo is stellar.    IMHO, ARM is
slowly replacing x86 and this is a great opportunity for Gentoo to
grab some user share.  Here's my greatest ever contribution to this
list: buy NASDAQ:ARMH.

Anyway, it's using DisplayLink on the ARM system that I'm worried
about.  Linux support at all seems to be a matter of disagreement:

Nice one.  I have a Dell XPS 13 which looks very similar but it isn't
fanless....
