Recommended arm hardware (mostly for compilation)?

[Dan Kotowski]

I have a SolidRun HoneyComb workstation board based on the LX2K and can confirm it's quite powerful, however I have only been able to get Linux-based systems running - I have not been able to get FreeBSD working, but am working on it. SolidRun provides all the sources necessary to do so, it's just a matter of interpreting all the documentation.

I'll be posting about that in another thread shortly.
