The N32 port is of course still experimental.  I played with it a
couple years ago and got a base userland functional, however there
were some things broken, most notably gdb.

Perhaps you should try and contact this person:

Not that I'm steering you away from Debian, you may also find it
useful to look a gentoo as there is a very strait forward path to
build N32 there.  Once you have a base userland working, things get a
whole lot easier.

Regards,

I would also recommend not using wordpress.com for your blog as it is
blocked in China, preventing most of Chinese volunteers to read or post
on your progress updates.

Should you need hosting/project space to share your work, Dexxon will
gladly provide. Just let us know what you need.

That's right. I also want to change my blog. However, WP was not blocked when I registered and I found that many open source developers could read my blogs and gave their comments there. Is there any popular blog site which is not blocked by GFW?

Thanks a lot. Yes, I want such a place to host the system image I built so that other developer could download and try it.  How can I get it?
