Somewhere out there is an Intel(or AMD) cpu'ed tablet
just waiting to be discovered for linux.
I cannot afford to buy any more tablets,
but I can afford to bother people for a few minutes with their tablet.
We could just do this right here and get it done now.

And I always saw a great deal of possibility for our community in antix.
I imagine that the antix community would be very interested in any arm devel done...and we may also find that there is a great deal of possible help from said community concerning testing as well...
Since there is literally zero antix arm devel that has been done..
and I don't believe it isn't because antix on arm isn't possible...
more like... many there have had their focus on other areas of interest...
I can imagine the excellence of their distro is due, in part,
to having a tight focus.
I personally would never wish any loss of quality
in exchange for a wider scope.
That said, however, their distro could use an ARM version
as long as it did not hinder the current versions in any way.
But this interesting development definitely will catch their attention there...
I would suggest starting a thread in their community forum concerning such ...
.
I will consider such - I am shy of enthusiastically barging in
with what might be outside their 'scope of work'
[disclaimer, I regard ARM and Intel's ATOM as equally flawed
technological abortions - they are -both- horrible to work on]
