There are any number of embedded boards based on an this FPU-less 386 which people like to run Linux on. There's more to the world than personal computers; the fact that the Linux kernel runs almost unmodified on most of the largest computers in the world (http://www.top500.org/stats/27/os/) and some of the dinkiest (http://www.research.ibm.com/WearableComputing/linuxwatch/linuxwatch.html) is a source of considerable pride. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
