Similarly I picked up a few & the tux solution is compelling for the NGW100.

The UC32, like the SAM7X, however would make a nice replacement for the Mega128 
in the NUT OS area.

The UC32 looks like a far cleaner solution than the ARM7 architecture, although 
there is no shortage of sample code for the ARM. The GCC / AVR studio / JTAG II 
solution makes for a neat low cost development system for the UC32.
