[gentoo-user] ARM Converts ?

[James]

Hello,

I just thought I'd share ARM's vision of the future, 
Gentoo  style, (excellent xmas presents) should anyone
on this list be inclined to ARM (~4K bogomips) their way
into the future.

At $175 (US) this is the most outstanding bargain
I've seen this Xmas:

http://pandaboard.org/   <digikey>

Just look at these specs, as this (dual cortex A9)
embedded board is going to kill the Atom for mobile
computing:

Thanks to  Armin76 (Raúl Porcel) we also have  excellent docs 
on how to put gentoo on this bad boy:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/?part=4&chap=9#


So fast that folks are natively compiling on this embedded board.
According to TI, the Pandaboard is a stepping stone to the A15
TI ARM core, which will feature SATA and  will appear early in 2012
to assault the server room for cheap, massively parallel
ARM (A15) based systems......

(cough...cough..... Atom who?)

I've ordered my pandaboard and was promised delivery the second week of
January, 2011.


Merry Christmas to all!
