These guys are based in England and write the NetBSD ARM port.  The
StrongARM is an awesome chip.  We are using it in a product where I work,
and I must say it is nice.  We are currently running VxWorks on it, but I
plan to grab the NetBSD sources and port NetBSD to it sometime in the
coming months.  Very nice.
