[CentOS] 12V computing?

[jim]

   there are computer systems that take 12VDC 
(for example the PC-104 type and others). such 
a computer system is a box that has a connection 
for 12VDC. inside the box is a power supply that 
takes the 12VDC and presents the +12VDC, -12VCD, 
5VDC, and -5VDC that's needed by the various 
electronic subsystems that make up the computer. 
   the installation of linux (or any other OS) 
is independent of the power requirements of the 
computer system.
