Preface I couldn't start this entry in any other way possible but by thanking everyone who enjoyed the Linux on Jaguar post. Also special props to the linuxmd project again. It was a very fun experience and we've even made it into a few news outlets: Hackaday or Tom's Hardware I also posted it on Hacker News and it recieved some good interest (And nice questions!). So, yes; thanks…
