That is a VERY unenlightened (and incorrect) opinion. There are a
number of highly function distributions for a variety of systems raging
from the PalmPilot to an S/390 mainframe. The Linux kernel runs on at
least 8 major processor families with a number of variations within each
family. Probably the most interesting developments currently in the
Linux community are in the embedded systems arena. Perhaps you should
pick-up a copy of Embedded Linux Journal sometime and have a look?
Please excuse the OT response to the OT post containing yet another
questionably reasoned opinion from Iggy...
