Well, if we're going to consider marketshare, I'd expect the million
or so Geodes already running Fedora (on the XO-1) to count for quite
a bit more than some Mac Mini clones that someone might run Fedora
on someday.  :)

To be clear about the XO-1, it's generally 686-compatible, so it's the
SSE2 requirement that's a problem here.  (I think we've seen a problem
with liboil getting SIGILL when compiled for i686 on the XO-1, but
it's much easier to contemplate recompiling one package as i586 than
to make a whole new distribution as non-SSE2.)
