	* You might noticed that there are several different models of Linkstations out there. There are PPC-based Linkstations (LS1, HG, HS),the LS2 is MIPS-based and the Linkstation Pro will be based on ARM. We have different hardware that needs different drivers and different cross-toolchains.		* You might noticed that there are several different models of Linkstations out there.

	* If someone currently wants to modify OpenLink for all LS models, he would have to redo the same modification for all OpenLink-Images and has to upload and release this images. This means everything would have to be done 4 times....As not many of us have more than one model this frightens many of us and thats why there is so little development. It is possible that the same version of OpenLink can have different bugs as redoing the changes is a manual process...not every solutions is documented.		* If someone currently wants to modify OpenLink for all LS models, he would have to redo the same modification for all OpenLink-Images and has to upload and release this images.
