i posted this to the debian-arm list but it occurred to me that you guys might appreciate having a decent desktop-style system as well as something with enough RAM to do compiles of some of the larger packages without needing to run into swap space, as well.
joe (posting on arm-netbooks) has managed to get a sub-17-second boot to desktop out of the A20 when it's matched with 1gbyte 800mhz DDR3 RAM and a decent SATA SSD: now imagine what happens when that's 2gbyte 1333mhz DDR3 RAM :)
I was looking at the A20 a while back. This has a Cortex-A7 -compatible processor, right? Does it do hardware virtualization, ideally without too much hacking?
Hardware virtualization support for the Cortex A-7 is just now going into the ARM kernel. See http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-October/205060.ht...
Here is a link to the A20 home page http://linux-sunxi.org/A20 where you should be able to find A20 specific documentation.
If you need cubietruck specific information I would start here http://cubieboard.org/support/
