why compile for a dead market. F'n hell no. I will tinker with this thing nonetheless, just for the fun of it and to learn something. FreeBSD(or was it OpenBSD?) already boots on this thing, which should make writing up a device tree not impossible.
Well. Complexity kills. This is true on so many levels. Whatever was promised by futurists or science, is most of the time a marketing blurb. But it almost always adds complexity. Maybe it is a good idea to avoid easy gains. You get born, you have to learn the ropes and use your skills. You always build on the knowleadge of others. But you have to learn it first. That's something other than reciting.
