Since the answer all depends on the definition of "best" I guess we're
going to waste several weeks talking at cross purposes. Why not restate
the question giving some hint what you're trying to maximize.
You can go for max MIPS, MIPS/$ (with or without software cost
included), lowest power drain, or best paint job. You can specify
writing your own o/s, using unix, using something else, etc.
