I've been working with TS7260 for over a year now and I didn't need
any special knowledge on TS hardware until I started to work with 2.6
kernels which are not officially supported. The only thing I needed to
know was how to work with Linux. That's the point with the OS: you
don't need to know the hardwares details.
Now if you expect TS to teach you how to use Linux is like expecting a
cars dealer to teach you how to drive.
