Linux, as with most of the free unices are multi-platform - lets face it if
an application is written in assember it will most likely be written for x86
and ports for other chips will never materialise. A lot of work has been
done porting Linux to many diverse architectures and it seems a shame to tie
an application to the labotomised x86 chips.
