-Once you've settled for a distribution, you need to choose a Linux kernel adapted to the AC100. This is provided mainly by the [[https://gitorious.org/ac100/marvin24s-kernel/|marvin24s-kernel]] project on gitorious.org. Except for the case of Ubuntu (?), you will not find compiled kernel packages for the AC100 in the official distribution repositories.+Once you've settled for a distribution, you need to choose a Linux kernel adapted to the hardware platform of the AC100 .

 If your plan is to install Linux to the internal eMMC, please keep in mind that kernel support for tegrapart varies (see [[kernels|kernels]]). Generally, kernel versions > 3.1 do not have tegrapart support. At this point you need to decide whether to keep using tegrapart or to switch over ("upgrade") to a standard GPT partition scheme, which works with all kernels. If your plan is to install Linux to the internal eMMC, please keep in mind that kernel support for tegrapart varies (see [[kernels|kernels]]).
