> Courtesy of Wade Hampton and Knut Suebert: New hardware designs that plan
|
|
to use Linux should take advantage of environmentally friendly technologies
|
|
such as low-power CPUs e.g., the ARM from Intel:
|
|
|
|
, environmentally friendly battery design, low-power displays (e.g., non-backlit LCDs), smaller packaging, etc. Linux supports a WIDE variety of hardware and technologies. These could be leveraged into powerful, flexible, environmentally friendly Linux-based solutions.
