Wiki migration to ARM

We would like DoudouLinux to run on ARM platforms because:

  • ARM processors are more and more used, particularly in handheld devices
  • ARM platforms are cheaper than x86 platforms
  • ARM platforms require less electrical energy than x86 platforms

However there are currently issues that will make this migration quite difficult:

  1. the official Debian ARM port is not efficient, a new port is on the road but not ready yet
  2. Debian Live scripts do not officially support ARM (see What is a live system? on live.debian.net)
