Warner,

For the time being I'll stick with trying it on a cubieboard2 first. =
Thanks for your offer to help should I decide to go with the =
cubieboard3, it's very likely I'll have additional questions as things =
progress, for the time being thanks for the information provided to me =
so far.

If I understand the future plans you've outlined correctly, I'd say from =
a more or less end-user perspective that would be ideal.

It looks like a lot of progress was made through the collective efforts =
of many since this relatively cheap hardware first caught my attention =
back in October of 2013 (see =
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2013-October/254055=
.html).

Regards, Jk.
