ARM'ing Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| The ARM chip architecture is emerging to become an extremely popular one for 
| embedded and mobile devices. Itâs also an architecture that has had some 
| issues when it comes to Linux.
| 
| Speaking at the LinuxCon conference this week, Linux creator Linus Torvalds 
| detailed his frustrations with ARM. Coincidentally this week, Canonical, the 
| lead commercial sponsor behind Ubuntu Linux, announced ARM support as part of 
| the upcoming Ubuntu 11.10 release.
| 
| âI think that ARM is very promising,â Torvalds said. âThe problem is that ARM 
| doesn't have a standard platform.â
| 
| In Torvaldsâ view, ARM is a 'hodgepodge' of companies making random pieces of 
| hardware. He noted that on the kernel side, Linux has tried to support alot of 
| ARM.
