Typical Far East distros go for TurboLinux. But Debian and Knoppix are now more favoured. Debian had always used sockets and plug-ins for different platforms. In other words, different cpu and their instruction sets can be plugged into Linux commands. This philosophy is carried into application programs, where plug-ins can add sophistication into performance benefits. You can start small; tiny Linux and grow into full blown Linux operating system? If you only resize everything with gui design kits and tools(resize ramdisk and display panels or framebuffer size). Footnote: Since Freescale semiconductor went to China to manufacture PPC cpu; Linux platform freedom has to be suitable for both Intel x86 desktops and PPC servers. Debian becomes the choice for ease of adaptation in the future in the Far East and other third world countries. Governments of course look for stable locked down Debian Sarge repositories for their IT departments.
