 yes. and once mainline linux support is in debian for a CPU it makes
life a lot easier.  also, someone is working on porting
debian-installer to sunxi, which is a huge relief.

 yep that'll be your browser cache playing up.  the orders page is
auto-generated as static HTML by ikiwiki.

 i'll do a MEBv1, upgraded.  using china-sourced components, not
digikey / mouser.  prices are waay too high.  i will likely cut/paste
one of the power circuits using a USB protection power IC so that it
will be possible to flip between USB power and 5V power without
spiking anything.

 but, remember, if i am to do an upgraded MEB, it will need testing,
it will need maybe one or two revisions, and it's going to cost about
$250 each revision.
