[Fuego] Distro for test

Hi Tim,

Unfortunately, our distro can’t run on BeagleBone black and a Raspberry Pi 3.
But it can run on X86 system, so I think you can use qemu.
If you are interested in using our distro, I can provide source code and detailed usage.
And I need to remind you that building our distro requires more than 100G.

I also think that it is easier to work by using fserver.
We are looking forward to using this feature in future.

Sorry to not respond.  It's unclear if I would be able to use your distro.

What is your build system?  And do you have a reference board, or list of boards, that the distro is known to work on.

I'll be traveling quite a bit in the next several months, and I expect the only boards I'll be able to physically manage will be a BeagleBone black and a Raspberry Pi 3, that I'm taking with me (as a kind of mini-transportable lab).  If your distro runs on those, or in a virtual machine (like qemu), then I might be able to experiment with it.

However, I think a better solution to the problem of me being able to try stuff out on your distro, would be for me to finish the fserver work, and have your lab support execution of remotely submitted jobs.  I suspect that my actively working on that would result in more benefits in the long run than my trying to work out how to build and install your distro on my own boards.

Let me know what you think.
