Fedora will support ARMv7 going forward, there's been no statement from Red Hat about intentions with future products related to ARM and given this is a Fedora list I couldn't speculate. > Earlier here, I was pointed to the cubieboard for DIY.

It has up to 4 Gb ports which you could bond together and VLAN up to get 8 ports of resilient 100Mb. You don't really get devices with multiple 100Mb LAN connections now as it's generally given that most enterprise products would prefer a single gig and trunk VLANs over it and then bond that for resilient/load. http://openblocks.plathome.com/products/ax3/ Peter _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
