I didn't say that; I simply stressed the importance of (B)CCing
leader@d.o if you want to ensure getting a reply from the DPL. I
don't read all mailing lists or threads; but I happend to read this
one anyway.

Actually, Linux has been ported to all of the CPUs and systems I had
in mind; in fact, ported by the vendor since there's demand for Linux.
The 1 GHz dual-cores I mentioned are one from Broadcom (which drow
also mentioned) and another one developed by PMC-Sierra.
See http://www.broadcom.com/products/product.php?product_id=BCM1250
and http://www.momenco.com/products/jag-atx.html
Wind River has a good table listing most newer mips boards which are
available:

Also, see the press release from MIPS to see what some companies have
been working on:
