Debian sometimes feels like the system that will run on a salad bowl powered by two potatoes and a pickled cucumber.

The range of architectures it supports is mindboggling.

It's definitely awesome.

Interestingly/amazingly, it doesn't support all the architectures that the kernel supports. The kernel still supports 486 processors, although modern Linux on a 486 would actually be extremely slow since all the modern CPU capabilities/extensions are missing. There was talk about removing 486 support last year (increasing the minimum CPU for the Linux kernel up to the Pentium 1) but I don't think that's actually gone anywhere yet.
