Hey all,
I just had pretty poor luck installing CentOS-5 on one of these:
http://koolu.com/Koolu-WE-Appliance/Works-Everywhere-Appliance.html
I'm trying to turn this into a home server/router and think CentOS (with its long support cycles) is an ideal distribution for this sort of application. The catch, of course, is that its a AMD Geode (hence i586) based system, so the install doesn't get very far.
I saw there was a recent thread on this list about i586 support for CentOS-5 and I was wondering if there is anyone currently working on that. If there is I'd be interested in helping out.
Thanks,
Adam
You could get CentOS 4 on it. Still has almost 4 years of support. Until Feb 29, 2012. That way you could use it now instead of waiting months for i586 support on CentOS-5.
