Great, thanks. My "informedness" stopped at David Mackay's work earlier this year, which ran for me on Hipster (with custom illumis core) but failed to run most of the relatively current distros in any acceptable manner.
Can the joyent lx branch be easily excised for tests on other distros and/or are there plans to upstream this back soon? ;)
