Contiki Ported To x86

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the reuse-is-recycling dept.

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."

    These people were long beaten.. you can run a server on an XT with EZNOS (it also acts as an LPD print server!) or one of serveral other packages..

    Here's an XT running EZNOS.. there's also other 8088/87 projects, a 386 and other stuff.. neat.

    Also, a web server running on the original IBM PC.

    I've been wating to get these people slashdotted ;)...
