Differences to PC Linux


Differences to Linux on a PC
In the PC world, I can
download the latest kernel from kernel.org
compile + install it on almost every current+old platform
have an almost 100% chance that it will boot and support all the major peripherals
only some more obscure hardware might not have drivers yet
update at any time to the latest 2.6.x.y maintenance release
update at any time to the next 2.6.(x+1) release
