I really like the little ARM single-board computers. I just wish the distros would manage to sort the hardware support out properly, and then continue to support previous versions for just a bit longer.
does debian on ARM have long term support?
I suspect when the 64bit ARM chips come out then RedHat/CentOS will support them and we'll get long term support. I doubt they will bother until we're out of the 32bit ARM era - 2G of ram for 4 or 8 cores to share (even if they are slow) is very limiting.
A little OT but the subject is "ramble" so I think it's fair game :) How much power does RAM use? If you had a phone with 8GB of RAM, would powering the RAM contribute significantly to the power consumption? Just curious. James
