Thanks Peter,
The iMX6 device looks sweet for a home computer! I might look into one of those.
But I'll also take a longer look at the new BeagleBone and may wait for it. I had been
looking at the Beagleboard-XM.

The imx53 is rather old these days and not overly cheap compared to
some of
the other boards on the market now days. In fact pretty much all the boards
listed on the Linaro site are some what long in the teeth.
We did support a IMX kernel which supported imx51 and imx53 chipsets
but I
never had a report of whether it worked or not on those boards.
The imx SoCs are now able to be supported in the unified kernels but
there
was an issue that stopped us from enabling it in 3.8, I'm aiming to have it
enabled as part of 3.9 but it's not there yet.
What sort of device are you looking for?
The new BeagleBone due out this month should be nice and cheap and we
plan to
support it sooner rather than later.
If you particularly want an iMX device I would suggest an iMX6
device:
