I've been using the fuloong [1] and the yeeloong [2]. The mipsel3
uclibc stages at [3] are built on the fuloong. It takes about 1 day per
stage1/2/3.

Just my 2 cents: I use Ubiquiti ERLITE-3 but it is router first of all.
If you need comprehensive solution(with VGA output, first of all) you
need something else.

Yeah but Mike said LE/64bit whereas ERlite-3 is BE/64bit. I believe
loongson is a good choice but unfortunately it's mips3 ISA.

It is only mips3, not mips32r2, unfortunately.

Mike: why little endian?

The 3A boxes are LE/MIP64r2 though

because i have BE already (SGI boxes), and the systems we're looking to
support are all LE
