Momentum already have Linux (2.6 Kernel) running on these boards so that's not a problem, take their patches, possbily get some people that know the kernel well (I could do it but it would be ugly!) to modify them for incorporation into the main kernel tree (if they're not already) and either modify Debain, Suse, Mandrake or Yellow Dog for distribution with the board or produce your own based on LFS
Finally dump AGP if you can. Lets start with something fresh for a change. If this thing comes to market you will have as much trouble finding a AGP card as you do finding a PCI card now. You need to think a year ahead plus a bit more as board needs to last four years.
Well, I would agree with you if, and only if there was a PCI-Express solution available for this board. But without PCI-Express, you absolutely MUST have an AGP 8X slot. AGP will be around for just awhile longer, and there are already some fantastic AGP 8X cards out there.... Until PCI-Express takes the market over completely, AGP will remain in place as a viable alternative. Hopefully someone will make a chip for the PPC that is PCI-Express capable.
