Server migration
My office is across the hall from Seneca College's Centre for Development of Open Technology (CDOT) in Toronto, Ontario.
There is a team of devs here working on the Fedora ARM translation project, and they've succeeded quite well.
I've been informed that one of the primary reasons Fedora Linux is being ported to the ARMitechture (can I get a CC-SA for that?
is to enable ARM-based Server devices to replace the much larger and hungrier Intel/compatible server processor offerings.
One of the images used to sell the project is: Imagine a room the size of an American Football field covered in server racks, UPSs, and cooling equipment.
Now imagine that all being replaced by three or four units the size of a household refrigerator, doing the same job, consuming a fraction of the power and requiring a fraction of the cooling.
THAT's a goal worth the effort, if you ask me!
