Neat ppc based mini server, runs linux.

200mhz ppc w/64 megs of ram,usb,ide,serial console.
Does anyone know what effort it would take to get gentoo running on this device? |

| A fair amount of work has already been done. I'm leveraging the Japanese effort and kick starting a "Total Conversion" project. See the Revolution support forums at www.revogear.com |

(gentoo on kuro box)
are there any germans who want a kuro box?
i would like to join a group which tries shipping some to good old europe.
(but consider it needs modifications to run with 220V)

That might make an excellent computer for a car. attach a touch screen interface of some sort. use it for navigation, controlling the radio etc. I would get one just for that, but i have no money.
