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."

    Actually I have been programming on computers since the Apple ][ and was one of the first folks to pioneer OTA programming for cellular phones. Let's see you review the ITI/ETIAA standard and explain it to me, pinhead.

    Nice to see that idiots who don't know crap about people who post aren't afraid to show their ignorance.

    I know it's cool to elevate legacy hardware so that they can do things thought impossible. It was just a joke that I posted tongue-in-cheek.

    Jackass...

    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..."

    However, in any case we know what image the web browser in that VNC demo is currently displaying. We don't need to see it. Come to think of it, it's maybe even better that the VNC is slashdotted right now...

    Hi,

    You're offtopic, but the answer is Slackware.
