That I feel is a legitimate concern. Whether it is an issue, will depend on the results we get . . .because the performance isn't what we are used to with intel compatible hardware
A dpup (at the moment) seems the most likely Puppy bootstrap environment.
I do not want a portable device with a built in toaster.
Intel run hot.
Arm runs efficiently and longer. So this Pi is a static device but the idea is to move towards a viable mobile device when we have a cheap clear indication of what will get support. It may be the aakash device, however I somehow doubt that.
The idea of a 100 processor server might also inspire a further development of an Intel powered distributed Pup server. There was such a project . . .
The nature of the PARM ISO is dependent on the initial developer. I for one will make an effort to run the first compiles.
What happens next is anyones guess . . .
