Hey Ben!

 BR> BUT

Yes.  My current hesitation would be building a custom kernel for the
toolchain I have plans for to replace whatever the supplied boot/root is.

 BR> Monitor, Cpu, Sound, cooling fan, etc.

Sound is of no consequence to me but the monitor requires a minimum of 9VDC
so usb power for that is not doable.  The DC/DC power supply I have outputs
12VDC so it would need to draw from there.

No biggie but the customization most definetly is and I have no personal
interest in any distribution other than to kickstart a proper 64 bit
toolchain.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
