Would either of you already have a guess for how long it makes sense to update kernels on it? I see that this is one of the more limited platforms with just 32MB of RAM (64MB in case of CX), and kernels only get more bloated over time, so I expect at some point you will be stuck with running old software. Wikipedia tells me that new models came out recently. Are you planning to add support for those as well? Arnd
