[Server-devel] Looking for new low power server hardware candidate

[George Hunt]

I'd love to be involved in getting an arm server going.  I have a
dreamplug.  Which distro are you thinking would be a good base?

What sort of hitches? If there's discussion in the archives, I'll do
reading to get up to speed.  I might help if I knew when or who.
