Just to throw some ice-cold water on this:
1. It's highly unlikely that we will ever support the x4500 -- only the
x4540 is a real possibility.
2. If we do make something available, your data and any custom
software won't survive the journey: you will be forced to
fresh-install your x4540 with our stack.
3. If we do make something available, it will become an appliance: you
will permanently lose the ability to run your own apps on the x4540.
4. If we do make something available, it won't be free.
If you are willing/prepared(/eager?) to abide by these constraints, please
let us ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) know -- that will help us build the business
case for doing this...
