Description
It's obvious -- Linux has become an attractive option for
non-x86 platforms. Why? In the early days, Linux ran on just a
narrow range of systems, mostly processors compatible with the
Intel 80386 processor. But the drive to get the first shell
prompt on a new piece of hardware motivates people to do crazy
things, targeting a variety of processors that "everyone knows"
are not viable Linux platforms, such as handheld computers,
watches, game consoles, and a variety of workstations and
servers.
