Linux runs on at least 15 architectures NOT produced by Intel.

Well technically intel does produce alpha and arm, i386 and ia64. :)

They _manufacture_ Alpha and StrongARM, after having purchased rights from Digital.

I will give you the other 13. intel only invented 2 of them, but make 4 of them.

Whether or not we quibble over 2 of the architectures, there are still a LOT more non-Intel architectures than there are Intel architectures. -- (format nil "~S@~S" "cbbrowne" "cbbrowne.com") http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/spreadsheets.html We all live in a yellow subroutine, a yellow subroutine, a yellow subroutine... -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
