While not a Linux kernel-based operating system, NetBSD 7.0 RC1 is the first release to introduce ARM multiprocessor support, as well as to improve support for AMD Radeon and Intel graphics cards by porting the Linux DRM/KMS code. Also, the X.Org display server and many of its components have been updated as well. Support for many ARM computer boards has been added, including Raspberry Pi 2.
