[PlanetCCRMA] Hawkboard, BeagleBoard / ARM

I'm curious, has anyone on the list attempted running Fedora on ARM
platforms? All of the tutorials and such have tended Ubuntu-wards.

Of course, I know for a fact Pd runs perfectly nicely on ARM. The
BeagleBoard or even-cheaper, easier-to-get (if slightly less powerful,
but it DOES have standard VGA) Hawkboard both look great. It'd of
course be fantastic to have a computer at $90 that runs your music
stuff.

I don't expect support or help from anyone on such an endeavor, just
curious if anyone else is braving these waters and compares notes.
Heck, even if I initially try Ubuntu on it, expect I'll learn
something that could be applied to trying out Fedora's ARM build.

This port/documentation looks pretty nice:
