But why would you spend over 1000 pounds on an arm Linux desktop box
instead of a few hundred pounds on a random i386 desktop box?

A reasonable answer is because you're developing for arm's for embedded
applications; but if so, what's the big deal with using unstable or
snapshots, and running your public servers on other boxes?

Uh, you've got that round the wrong way: you don't do something because
you can't say support definitely isn't needed, you do something because
you *can* say support definitely *is* needed.

Haven't seen any evidence of it -- developers and vendors, yes, users,
or uses, no...
