But be assured: As soon as it's able to boot a Linux kernel on the A64 you will see new Linux OS images being released every few days. One more crappy than the other.
The most important stuff regarding Linux has to happen somewhere else: Drivers and mainlining efforts for kernel and u-boot (currently just an outdated 3.10.65 available)
So I can run Kali on Pine64+, right?
And I dont need 4Gb Ram, right?
I need to look deeper in this ARM concept than
