   seems there's a reasonable chance that an ARM 
compliant linux, if it comes from a distribution 
community of some kind, will install and at least 
mostly work on an ARM-based device that's similar 
to what Alex has installed on--it's mostly a 
matter of chipsets and storage. 
   give it a try. the odds are with you, in my 
opinion.
