Got an Iyonix PC, ARM NetWinder, RiscPC, RiscStation, LART or CATS box? Want to run a recent version of Debian Linux on it, but fear support issues? You might want to take a look at Peter Naulls' CD distribution, which includes a month of phone and/or email support, according to an article at Drobe by Chris Williams.

The CDs, which Naulls created primarily to support Iyonix XScale-based PCs, are comprised of Debian 3, or “Woody” according to the ToyStory-inspired nomenclature of Debian releases. Woody is the latest stable Debian release, supplied with kernel version 2.4.19 on ARM.

The CDs are offered as a single disk, appropriate for machines that can be upgraded and expanded over the network once up and running. A complete 6-CD set with binaries for the complete Debian distribution is also available for machines that may not be network-attached.

Pricing (in British Pounds) is listed on the ARM CD Page of Naulls' website.
