Linux port for the 440EP processor

[Mukund JB.]

Hi Eugene,

I am need of 440EP Processor based Linux port.
I have some questions for what I am not sure of the answers I have.

Does 440EP processor come under 4xx type?
Is there a central repository for Linux distributions for 440 series?
Are there any tools, help Documents that can help build Linux
distribution for the 440EP Processor?
In "Linux for PowerPC Embedded Systems HOWTO" Document, the Target
Hardware's 4xx series points to some site addr & I didn't find any 440
processor support there? 

Do I have access to the working 440GP & 440GX in both 2.4 & 2.6
developed by u? where can I find them?

Thanks for the support in advance.

Regards,
Mukund jampala
