Covered a couple times before on this list... Possible to install the 5106R tarball, but probably not the 5107R. Here's my post from before (RaQ 550 similar):

Not for the faint of heart, but possible... I have one RaQ 4R with it installed using a combination of the following pages (took me 4 trial and error attempts to get it right):

It requires a Strongbolt installer CD to initially get CentOS 4 onto the RaQ, if you already have the ext3 kernel in your ROM and CentOS on your RaQ then you can just continue from there...

You end up with an older kernel, unless you are good at compiling kernels for RaQs.
