Totally agreed. I think we should realistically calculate how many
probabilities there are of having a basic port done in (let's say) three
months. This would allow Siemens to advertise Linux as 'experimental but
working' OS on their machines, potentially attracting customers/developers to
continue working on it, and consequently renew the support for a longer time.
At a first glance we need to consider:
- availability of a robust crossdev env.
- the ubiquitous MILO in some reincarnation
- support for console and disk
- port of the basic utilities
