Great! A $650 motherboard that I might be able to run Linux on!

Just what I've been looking for...


Yeh, I know what you mean - I suppose you guys all thing that's better than a $99 motherboard that definitely does run Linux, and uses a vastly superior firmware? Well at leas the SAM440EP has SATA, and onboard graphics, that's gotta be worth the extra $551 right? I think not...

Makes me wonder - just how much of the embedded devices market use UBoot with PowerPC hardware? I see no point as the IEEE1275 OpenFirmware is so much better...
