I alaready looked for a replacement. Surprisingly the devices with 3 or 4
network cards cost > 400,- US$ and consume more power. I do not see a
reason why I should throw away a device that is working and will be
working. There was nothing ARM based, I could find.
I checked yesterday - as Charles Curley said the demand is near to the base
system - no fancy browser or whatever 372 packages 279 of which are i386.
So indeed the question is about the toolchain. I have no experience in
finding sponsors or whatever. For me it will be sufficient if I could build
those packages locally. I'll put it on the list for the next year. 
Help and advise how to proceed is appreciated.
