You know it's kind of funny, given the way we view x86 vs ARM, to hear x86 referred to as a clearly more power/thermal efficient platform. It is also a good reminder that the IBM POWER architecture was designed for mainframes and supercomputers and in those environments they actually ran submerged in mineral oil to keep cool.

I love Adelie Linux! Their installer is currently broken on PowerPC :(

For some reason, I thought you were going to install Adelie Linux. Guess I was thinking of a different project.
