A thought experiment...

Now that the full source for GSOS is available, what would the likelyhood of
it being ported to a single board computer like the Raspberry Pi be?

What would the major sticking points be?

I, personally, would LOVE to see ANYTHING OTHER THAN LINUX on these devices.
I think that it could make the actual hardware more accessible to far more
users that Linux could ever hope to.

I would also LOVE to see, once again, a TRULY PERSONAL computer be available
again.

What do you think???
