   Though FreeBSD is oriented towards 386+ processors, NetBSD (and,
perhaps, OpenBSD) can be ran on almost every 32bit processor in the world!

   No, it is not. If we (personnaly, I am unixhead, mostly linuxoid) want
to conquer the world we simply must take into account user interface
guidelines.
   And modern computer are overpowered anyway, why not to give away some
processor's power - to RC5 contest, SETI at HOME or hourglass?
