 A very, very interesting article Robert, Fedora has an ARM port

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM

<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM>A dual-core Opteron 175 as
a server draws 120 watts on its own, I liked the way he dealt with the
reduction in the threads/child processes and application memory management.
I had posted an article on the mailing list about how data centers and
clusters could be built using ARM chips to reduce cost and power
consumption.

Now if I could run CentOS 6 on this with headless virtual machines at 100MB
memory per virtual machine that would be really interesting. A bit of
reading up on this subject is required (among other things), and you can
take it further like running virtual machines on smartphones etc...Like what
I said a lot of food for
thought.<http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2362903,00.asp>
