Hello Grant, You have similar goals as I do. In addition to what you are doing I'm planning on managing thousands of embedded devices, remotely, for controls purposes. The new ARM-15 chip is suppose to be an "Intel Killer" in both the server space and workstation space. It is also is going to be the chip for 3D video and multi-head devices, such as you purport to building in your other emails. TI is very aggressive on the ARM-15 chips based mother boards. Embedded Gentoo runs on the panda board, thanks to Armin76! http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/?part=4&chap=9 I'm not sure you can wait a few more months, but, in my research the ARM-15 based devices are going to make significant inroads into many areas. http://www.slashgear.com/ti-omap-5-outed-twin-cortex-a15-cores-kinect-style-tracking-more-07131324/ hth, James
