ASUS Transformer Pad(TF701T) arch linux support?

[sudoaptget]

Hello guys

I am a big fan of linux and tried installing linux on my ASUS Transformer Pad(TF701T)http://www.asus.com/au/Tablets_Mobile/The_New_ASUS_Transformer_PadTF701T/ much to my disappointment android was not very user-friendly in that regard for allowing that. In fact, it fought me every step of the way from unlocking bootloader to rooting the device! In a sense, I felt like as if I couldn't get into my own car even though I payed $20k grand for it (not to put the analogy too far ) Great work Google (sarcasm)

After 10hrs of waning enthusiasm and jugs of coffee, I discovered that most linux distros are for 86x 64 bit architectures. I was delighted that there were a few groups out there with a mindset to tweak a few distros to ARM architecture for many devices.
Arch Linux ARM, Ubuntu ARM, Fedora ARM and Debian Arm although not many but I'm still grateful there's any at all

I was wondering if you guys have an Arch Linux Armv7 platform specifically for ASUS Transformer Pad(TF701T) ? If there isn't one, I was wondering if you legends could possibly provide a flavour specifically for the tf701t?

The tf701 is a worthwhile tablet mobile device with a keyboard dock and I believe its in high demand at the moment. Why I believe it is in high demand, is to date I think the 10'' inch screen with 2k 2560x1600 resolution and quad-core 2ghz Tegra4 cpu makes it a fantastic piece of hardware

Please help me, I am unsure what to do at this point

[sudoaptget]

Can anyone help?

There is a dev already trying to port linux debian to this device with some success. However there are still a few issues which have yet to be solved.

I'm sure if a couple more people can help, you guys will be able to add another platform for the TF701T transformer within a week or so because the dev has already done much of the leg work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpos ... stcount=20 (debian img)

I don't think there is much interest in this at all. Keep in mind arch is cutting edge software. Debian lags behind, a lot (years in some cases?). Arch uses systemd (also optionally available in debian, but is the only option in arch) which requires newer kernel version + certain options enabled.
Is there a modern kernel availabe for this device? (>3.7)
Probably not.
Even if the above were yes, none of the developers have the device (and probably no interest and/or time) AFAIK.

[sudoaptget]

I appreciate the response...I guess I'll have to try building a linux distro for this arm device without help.

It's a daunting task, is there any guides I can look to for learning how to do this?
