Lycoris Shipping Linux OS For Handhelds

Posted by timothy on from the cool-to-see dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "According to LinuxDevices.com, it appears Lycoris has put together an OS for handhelds like the iPAQ and Zaurus. It's based on the Open Source OpenZaurus and OPIE projects, so it should look pretty familiar to Linux-on-PDA fans."

      I hate to break it to you, but if the girls are swarming around you because you have a stuffed animal, it's not because they find you sexually attractive. It's because they think you're gay and therefore "safe".

      Honestly, you'll never get any tail with that approach.

      Is that a page fault in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?

      Nope, just Some geek pr0n.

      Here's a sample:

      "Lay her vertically against one jaw and put your nail against the other jaw and slowly crank it down. Once the two get close, adjust the position and angle so that the penetration will occur near one edge of the target. Since this is her first time, you'll want to take it nice and slow. If you go too fast, you might just ram it all the way through, that could be ugly. I padded the vise to protect her front side."

      Yeah, it IS what you think. ;-)

    Just when I thought the embedded market was safe, we'll now have distro wars on a PDA!

    Lycoris vs Gentoo for my palm.

    Actually, no one really knows if Gentoo on your PDA works, as it hasn't finished compiling yet. It always gets about half way there (est. time: 6 weeks) and the pda starts to smoke.

    This will definitely have to make it into the Beaver benchmark round-up. Man I bet those Dell PowerEdge 2650s are shaking in their boots!

    If I didn't have my beloved Zaurus, I might try Lycoris... but only if you threatened me at gunpoint of course. Or maybe poked me with a sharp stick a few times :)
