The Joys Of Porting

Posted by Hemos on from the you-go-this-way-i-go-that-way dept.

Gambit Thirty-Two writes "Old news, but Sendmail has ported their MTA to Linux390." And in other news: sitz writes "It would appear as though some madman has port apache to WinCE <Insert witty beowulf comment here>. It's only been tested on a couple of platforms (including the Jornada 720, and is 'based on the WinNT port, with lots of dirty modifications'. That's still pretty swanky. I've also set up a mirror of this site, which will be up for a couple of weeks." Update: 08/27 15:19 PM GMT by H : Yes, the Sendmail story is a dupe - somebody didn't read my story before posting his. *grin*

    porting Apache to WinCE? Apache for Windows NT itself is based on Win32 platform code (which CE is built on) most NT applications are "runable" on CE, so quit wasting your time... not to mention Apache runs great in Windows NT! Sure as hell beats that shitty operating system called Linux

    It has never been by the nerds for the nerds !
    It is by marketing droids cleverly disguised as geeks, for c00l t33n4g3 linux d00dz.

    A real nerd would never sell out, because a real nerd is a control freak.
    A real nerd would never touch perl with a ten foot pole.
    A real nerd would not enjoy going to conventions to _hold speeches_ to other market droids.
    A real nerd is anal about his/her grammar.

    Slashdot is giving nerds a bad name, but not for long, for Slashdot is dying !
