intresting article on floating point performance and recent improments

http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS9048137234.html (http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS9048137234.html)

note the platform they are talking about is also an xscale, one thats normally used in raid cards and storage devices, its the same as a pxa without the iwmmxt and a couple of other improments

seems arm is starting to get a bit more support

Not quite, those IOPs are Xscale version 3, the pxa270 is v2.

I think the most important part of that announcement was that debian/ARM is based on Angstrom and OpenEmbedded

We have some people in #oe using the linux-rp kernel and an armedslack and debian native rootfs on the microdrive. No need for ugly hacks like pocketworkstation. With the armel port, debian isn't even slow anymore
