AMD "Hondo" APUs May Not Be Too Linux Friendly

What AMD and intel don't seem to realize is that people like me have no qualms moving to platforms that do support linux (Even if we end up using a raspberry pi to do our main computing).

The result is that amd will just alienate some of it's customers and end up with a smaller audience. Well done, AMD.

I think they believe that such an audience is rather small. However, I do think it's a stupid move. If they continue supporting Windows exclusively, they might run into problems with the server crowd. Which is a pretty important group.

The sever crowd that uses crappy tablet chips? To be clear, Opteron still fully supports Linux.
