And yet Linux is apparently heralded as an operating system sufficiently scalable to run well on embedded devices and to break the dreaded hardware upgrade necessities that have plagued Windows users for years. I mean, honestly, until it was announced that the PS3 was syupported to be capable of running Linux I never ever saw people complaining of minimum specs, all I remember reading was seeing people announcing that their old 286 or 386 had been given new life thanks to Linux.
And yet at the same time it's cool to announce the DS can run Linux as well as a lot of gushing and love sines in the direction of the WiiLi project, can people see what's going on here?
One final thought: Nokia N800 owners must really be suffering bad, since if a PS3 can't run Linux then heavan help them.
And some advice: Like I said before, give Gentoo a run on it. You'll think otherwise. In my experience it's orders of magnitude faster.
