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."

    Hi,

    What would be a good Linux distribution for a P166 /w 32MB ram that does web/mail/productivity with a decent UI?
