I want to port linux to new Ti tiva C TM4C123G
it is 80MHZ 32-bit ARM cortex M4 board with FPU
256KB flash /32bit SRAM /2kb EEPROM
I am interested on hacking into this board and turning it to micro server
(for fun and learning) or so... I compiled linux kernel few times in the
past, yet I am clueless on how to get started
thanks in advance

That is _very_ small for getting Linux to run on the board, odds are
it's impossible. You will need a lot of experience in order to achieve
this, I recommend using a board with at least 4Mb of ram in order to get
things working at the least.
I suggest doing some basic research on what boards and sizes of systems
that people have gotten a M4 running Linux on first.
good luck!
