As to better, I'm not sure I can answer, but NetBSD supports the 
TS-7200, according to the documentation.

NetBSD4.99.54 runs on the following ARM architecture evaluation boards:

    * Technologic Systems TS-7200

<http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200802180000Z/evbarm/INSTALL.html#Supported%20devices%20(Technologic%20Systems%20TS-7200)>

You can get more information from the NetBSD port-arm project at
