Actually wanted to validate my assumptions and to make it doubly sure that i can look for support from the list.

I think your question is wrong. You don't need a new or special Linux distribution for each new processor. What you need is processor and board support in U-Boot and the Linux kernel - but this is obviously board dependent. > Since Uboot supports MPC885 i presume it has to support MPC880, coz except > for the extra security module and the SCC they dont differ a lot. Tey are just like all the other 8xx processors.
