I plan on giving it a shot. I posted a thread a little ways down and I'll keep track of my progress there.

Linux freak here! I would be interested if we can get it to run and be more functional than a show piece.

His thread does need to be the one brought back to the top. It works fine to get a feel of the ui. And the more people that like it. The more people we will have searching for a dev for us...

Hmm thats weird.. did you flash both parts?
Last i tried it had no issues.. its not anywhere close to a daily driver. But it atleast booted and let me play around with the UI

It's changed a lot since I ported it over. The sources are posted on github if anyone wants to update it and try again. It probably won't ever be a daily driver for the Spectrum but it has matured a lot since then.
