Hi all. I was curious if anyone has gotten the newer optware-ng running in place of the old optware. I'm only not sure it would work because it appears to be compiled for v5 and v7 ARM cpus at this time. AFAIK the kindle runs a v6 compatible cpu. I might be mistaken. I'm not super familiar with ARM architectures and compatibility.
According to optware, ng is now official:
