Err, that was a little dry, ...
What i wanted to say, is that i am really interrested in helping the port of
LinuxPPC on the pegasos board, but am not yet in a financial position that
allows me to buy a developper board, which is rather expensive for a home
user. I think to buy one when the more reasonably priced final user boards are out
though.
