Just curious (and forgive me if this is too far off-topic): What's the smallest device (i.e., physical dimensions and/or mass/weight) that currently runs (or can run) Linux? The Talking Book uses a 16-bit Generalplus 96 MHz microprocessor, similar to those found in talking toys, along with embedded Linux. I thought that Linux could only run on a 32-bit (or later) CPU/architecture. Am I mistaken? Or, might this particular example be heavily hacked to run on a 16-bit arch? Thanks!
