Beginner's questions

[Efim Monarkh]

Dear Sirs,

I just begun to create Linux for Jornada 820. I already have some 
experience creating cross-compiler, compiling kernel and destroying 
WinCE. Could you please answer my questions:

1. What version of kernel do you use? What of them is better for begin? 
Do you apply arm-patches?
2. What version of bintools and gcc do you use?
3. What target is it necessary to provide in ./configure command?

Many thanks in advance
Best Regards
Efim
