I think you'll find that Linux variants run on far more
contemporary *iron*.  I suspect this is more important to
the vast majority of users than support for 4m/4c machines,
etc.

I know each time I have to tweak a NetBSD kernel to run
on some odd bit of kit, I "give second thoughts" to
re-examining Linux  :-(
