CompactBSD for Embedded Projects

miggidy_mac writes "FatPort (a wireless Internet service provider in Vancouver, BC) just released CompactBSD. It's a set of tools that allow you to build your own customized, lightweight distribution of OpenBSD and then burns it onto compact flash (or similar) so that it can be run on an embedded PC platform (like FatPort's own FatPoint). CompactBSD takes the security and networking features of OpenBSD that we know and love, and combines them with ease-of-build and small footprint, which is great for embedded devices. Check out the project on SourceForge."

Re:How do the tools compare to WinCE's?

Leaving aside any arguments about BSD and WinCE, of course.

Leaving aside arguments about BSD and WinCE? Yeh, this is like talking about moving dirt from one place to another, and not arguing about the relative merits of the pooper scooper and the Bobcat Compact Excavator.

(oh, lordy, when will I ever learn to stop fanning the flames???)
