2016-12-30 13:54:27 -05:00
Its an early alpha version. You can test it. It is not recommended for production use. In theorie its not limited to linux. but i currently only provide drivers for that because I have no ohter system here. If you want to help or write drivers to make it work on other systems, just let me know.
