No idea. I do not see any reference in the article either.

Actually, now that I think about it I believe the x86 chipset is Big endian hardware.

They offer it on a boot CD as well, although I do not know if the (zipped) CD is bootable or if you need to load a “boot CD” proggie first.

Pretty zippy, even in a VM. I haven’t figured out how to get it to install to the virtual hard disk yet though. It’s still running from the floppy image. It looks pretty cool though. Kinda reminds me of a TinyLinux distro I installed some time ago. On my system that one goes from power on to running instance in 10 seconds or so.

I've put up a Vid of it booting...
here. Most of the time is actually taken by the boot loader counting down the seconds until it boots.

Impressive. That was quite fast indeed.
I may have to set aside some time very soon to play with it a bit and find out more about it. :)
