今天官网刚刚稳定，上去一看就又是一个重磅炸*：
  Slackware for ARM
Slackware has a new official port for the ARM architecture, by the name of ARMedslack, which has recently released the port of Slackware version 12.2.

ARMedslack began in 2002 by Stuart Winter, with the primary goal of providing a full Slackware port for ARM desktop machines - initially targeting the Acorn StrongARM RiscPC, and later embedded devices.

Slackware ARM now supports native installation using the regular Slackware installer on the ARM Versatile board (via the QEMU emulator) and the recently announced embedded device: the Marvell SheevaPlug( http://www.marvell.com/products/ ... wood/sheevaplug.jsp ).

Slackware ARM version 12.2 is built for armv4, little endian, "legacy" ABI. A new port to the EABI is already underway and expected to be available in "-current" form within a few months.

The project's homepage( http://www.armedslack.org/ ) has more details.

ARM 是一个risc构架的cpu，在移动设备上是绝对的王者。
比如iphone， 还有nds游戏机。都是用的arm的。

我也刚在官网看到这条信息。这是否意味着slackware今后将对嵌入式设备开发提供支持值得期待。但是，以slackware以往的风格，会不会对新的技术提供良好的支持，让人担心。比如：wireless和multitouch

我们期待吧～～
这或许是一个好事！
SL的高效率在arm体系上或许是一个不错的选择

听到这真爆炸啊，Gentoo的ARM支持比较好, 但从LFS构建可能是比较多人的选择
