So you can't get all its fancy cores out of box=(( you'll probably need to make some extreme kernel + openjdk hacks (and may be a lot of others). The main problem is that system runs on ARM core and Parallella cores are actually OpenRISC cores and i think that linux is not ready for such multiarch system, but I hope someday it will. I wanted to get some Parallella boards too, but for my needs maybe couple of Beagle Bone Black are more appropriate=) It's an ARM Cortex-A8 dev board with 2 1GHz cores, some 3d accelerator, 512MB DDR3 RAM, 2GB integrated eMMC storage + microSD slot, LAN, USB host and micro USB client for power and external PC control, microHDMI and audio through that HDMI, and a lot of GPIO and other pins. Doesn't have so many cores but 45$ only and it may run gentoo=) Perfect for scalable OSGi/JEE home cloud. http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBone%20Black http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBoneBlack (sorry for bad grammar, not my native language xD) --001a11c2099087468504e27ca3fd Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
