Contiki Ported To x86
lt writes "The ultra-small Contiki OS has now been ported to the x86. This should give those of you who have an old x86 PC that is too small to run even the smallest of Linux variants, a chance to browse the web, set up a web server, and doing other essential stuff. If you're curious to see how it looks, there is a live VNC demo running."
Bill Gates sells as many shares of MSFT as he can.
the smallest os for the weakest puniest computers still in existence goes live.
click on this vnc link here to blow to smithereens.
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Why don't you go ahead and say, "There was a live vnc running", or maybe "or maybe there might be a live vnc running in the distant future" but never say "there is a live vnc running..."
Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.
Yep /.ing is a cross-platform "feature" - works against Windows, Linux, and Contiki servers!

This just in!
14 MHz web server Slashdotted! Oh the humanity!
What the hell is a 486? :)
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
What kind of sick bastard would slashdot a VNC connection? It's bad enough when you do it to an image file server or a site with a video or ISO, but a VNC CONNECTION on a computer that is too low powered for even Linux? What is wrong with you people?

poor little server
{meanwhile, somewhere else in the worl)
wow, we have a link on slashdot!
QUICK, WHO WANTS TO ROAST SOME MARSHMALLOWS!

I've got a mint condition ZX80 that I want to run a webserver on. Man, all my hopes and dreams dashed to hell.
Oh well, the CoCo will handle it though, all is not lost!
Silicone is for making tits bigger and keeping water in the tub.
Silicon is what chips are made of.
Haven't we abused this poor machine enough. Just several weeks ago it was the victim of a slashdotting. Now once again the moderators seek to wipe it's presence from the net.
Silly embeded computer, web serving is for servers.
It's a 386 compatible CPU featuring pipelined execution and an onboard FPU. Pretty neat, huh? Those puppies can be pushed to speeds in excess of 100MHz.
I just wanted to remind you all, that no OS is anything more than a toy unless Doom is ported to it. Come back when you can play Doom on a C64 over a VNC connection.
MAN! Everybody's suing these days. Old ladies who pour scalding coffee on their crotches, smokers, gun nuts, now DEAD anthropologists? Where will the madness end?
Dolt...maybe the REST of the post was a little informative, not just the tiny comment at the end?
No, the rest was redundant :)

Yeah, if only that processor in the 1541 had some sort of mass storage device attached to it...
