build an arm board to run linux

I want to build an arm board to run linux. I'm not really interested in
buying a board and messing around with it. I would go for a schematic
though. Any pointers on how I could get started? I have heard mixed advice
from people. Some say the atmel arm microcontrollers are pretty easy to
hook up to other components, some say it's not that simple. I just want to
know how I can get started.

At Olimex (http://www.olimex.com) they sell ARM dev boards and you can also 
find schematics there. Would be a nice place to start.

I am doing the same ! 
process is  a little complicated 


if u r in USA etc u can get the boards 
done  for the  "linux stamp" with AT91Rm9200 

http://opencircuits.com/Linuxstamp

PCB POOL site can make the  boards for u ! 

learn SMd soldering  in youtube/curious inventor site.
 
there is huge wiki for software loading etc this do a google ! 


Else if u want to do  no big stuff take the LPC 2138
search for schematics for these 


Download eagle pcb make the boards and  gerber files.
