I also added myself to the list of preorders. I would do hardware related stuff, u-boot hacking and I'd really like porting Archlinux ;)

added. i *really* like trinity desktop as it's amazingly lightweight and highly functional. i may actually put it as the default instead of xfce.
i have it installed and tested on one of the microsd cards, it works really well: if you could test it out to make sure it's functional that would be _really_ handy.
btw if you've not got a server where you can upload packages as a repo i'm sure one can be found somewhere.
I have server capability to host packages.
I'm a big fan of trinity too, behaves really well on the ARM devices I've used.
does lxde work well on arm devices also? I am guessing yes but I don't know for sure.
yyep.
