I disagree. The ARM ports allow Linux to be run on embedded hardware which are very low in power consumption. Please don't rush to sweeping conclusions based more on opinion than fact. I run Debian on an NSLU2, an embedded system, which has a 133 MHz processor and 32 MB RAM, and it performs acceptably well. I have also run fairly recent kernels on old-ish computer hardware without problems.
