[ArcheOS] arm archeOS

[Romain Janvier]

Hello Nic,

- For now, I would say arm support is not tageted for Theodoric in any 
case, but experiments are really welcome ! Debian arm port shape is 
maybe still too blury and too experimental to build something rock-solid 
on top of it !
- you're right intel and al. tend to be more agressive on energy 
consumption and prices due to arm market share on mobile devices. So in 
the next years we should see the arrival of some small and cheap devices 
based on x86 architecture (not cheap as raspberry pi, but maybe under 
100$ ?)...
- Last thing : I think you need at least the 512 Mo RP in order to try 
to compile something. I remember Luca and Ale try some experiments for a 
museum (?) with a small arm device (?) this year. They can maybe confirm 
that and give you more feedback.

cheers,
Romain
