You can count me in on that... I've been pushing for debian or ubuntu to be the XS platform for a while, and I know Martin Langhoff sort of feels the same way... but since so much work has already been done on Fedora, we should see how feasable it is to make 2 concurrent XS rollouts... but yeah

Hi all, One more argument for a debian based XS: Debian supports various non-x86 architectures, which are good candidates for a compact, affordable, and low power XS server: - The mipsel based fuloong mini ( http://www.lemote.com/english/fuloong.html ) engineered by the chinese Jiangsu Lemote
