Maybe for a high end ARM7 but even then, why Arch. I believe it *ONLY* supports systemd which is incompatible with application specific and in any case is surely going to waste memory and cpu cycles which means wasted power and for what. Some of the maintenance you are forced to do on Arch in many cases could have been avoided or done better and points to the devs being amateurish especially when compared to openbsd.org/faq/current.html. If you want Linux I'd check out buildroot or open embedded or LFS or debian embedded or maybe even ubuntu mobile. Looks like Slackware has an ARM port too which may be interesting and a bit more BSD like? I'm not sure what ARM support is like on the other BSD's but according to theo's talk freebsd is ahead of Linux now on security kernel features and last time I heard grsecurity on ARM had stalled. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
