Hallo,

Yes, indeed quite some people would appreciate this path. I'd love to buy an
Arm-Linux CD and just install the thing on my Acorn RiscPC (StrongARM) "out
of the box". So - thanks for any efforts you take in this direction.

Btw. is there any chance we'll see a Debian (ARM) Linux distribution which
includes a newer version of the nice StarOffice, (maybe the brandnew 5.0) ?

 Cheers,
 Eduard.
