Linux, outside the (x86) box (IBM developerWorks)

Peter Seebach examines the popularity of Linux on non-x86 architecture hardware. "Some people tend to dismiss non-x86 Linux as an idle amusement (it isn't; it's actually a lot of fun). Linux development for other-than-x86 hardware has led to improvements in the quality of the Linux kernel, even for x86 users. Today, the main Linux kernel has code for 22 architectures, although not all of them are equally well supported or mature."
