    I'm going to go ahead and test my university's bandwidth by mirroring the movies at http://www.public.iastate.edu/~omikron/linux3d/

    I like to build things and wire stuff together.

    This would have been a lot more impressive if they had actually used java to animate the schematic instead of a static movie. Something along the lines of this...

    Still cool, just not _slashdot_ cool.

    I shared the files in Kazaa. Look for "Linux Kernel 3D"

    I put the two biggest ones here.

    I'll keep them there for some hours, depending on the load induced to my puny 384 kb/s (<48 kB/s) bandwidth.
    So far it seems though that the actual site is enduring pretty good too.

    Tandy's line of CoCo computers worked the same way with video. Set a couple registers to tell the video generator which part of system RAM to treat as video and watch the operating system state displayed on-screen.

    It was mildly amusing from time to time.

    My workplace recently bought all us programmers new Gateway systems where the integrated video card (a GeForce model) uses the same technology for video as the CoCo from the past. Figure out how to tell the board which part of system memory should be treated as video, and the same effect could be had.
