So, I've got this poor little 206mHz ARM processor with 64mb running a webserver. Hey, it's kinda cool holding a webserver in your hand and being able to walk around with it."

  1. Zaurus by IceFox · · Score: 5, Interesting

    For those that have a Sharp Zaurus pda we have been doing this for a while.

    How about Apache with PHP


    Or maybe the smaller Boa web server


    How about a GUI Server manager for these? (screenshots)


    Maybe put MySQL on it too have some more fun!


    How about instructions on how to set up all of the servers (including smb)

    There is nothign quite like getting your data by putting your sd card into the Z, selecting it as the root page and then browsing to it from another box.

    P.S. How would you like to play Doom full framerate, multiplayer on the Zaurus! (for free too) It is coming soon! (Quake is more of a technical demo, can't do much without a floatingpoint, but if you want to see Quake on the Zaurus packages are already made.)

  2. Newton Message Pads... by heyjero · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ...have been doing this for a long time. Here is a site that lists a few running Newton Message Pad web servers.. http://misato.chuma.org:2110/ I didn't get to see the IPaq's page, but the Newton's pages listed here are pretty remarkable.
