Hi! We currently have a few happy users, but our porting work is not yet
complete, so if users need a particular software they either have to build it
by themselves or ask us to do it. But I can say there's progress everyday, it's
mostly in hack state :)

Also, this doesn't mean Parabola isn't useable at all, I for instance am
running a quite stable XFCE desktop, and I even used the yeeloong to stream
a conference (where I burn the audio card too, but that was another matter)[0].

You can find some screenshots here[1].

Is there something in particular you need? So far we have found trouble with
video playback and libreoffice build, but one of our devs did a few changes
that will allow us to build O32 binaries where N32 results in unstable or
unbuildable software.



PS: vando or aurelien, can you forward my reply to Daniel? 


[0]: Could I hardware disable it?
