Although a very simplistic viewpoint, eWeek's Peter Coffee pointed out this exact phenomenon: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1607953,00.asp Far too many times, developers plunk a full, desktop-level OS on embedded systems _when_ the have the CPU, memory and disk resources to run it. As an engineer who worked years in this industry, I can tell you this with certainty. That's why many projects just opt for the extra goodies in an embedded board -- so they can run a full-up OS. So, again, I re-iterate that Fedora Core should continue to be at least an i486 ISA compatible distro. To keep engineering support at a minimum on embedded platforms that have the power and resources to run a full distro. It's more than just install-time, but service-time too. -- Bryan J.
