PostgreSQL Ported to GameCube, Linux Progressing

TheFuzzy writes "Hey folks, thought you'd like to know that the guys at Cybertec.at have succeeded in porting PostgreSQL 7.4.1 to the Nintendo GameCube. Now you, too, can turn your former video console into the world's most underpowered database server. And before anyone asks... the Windows port is coming real soon now, so be patient - it says something that the GameCube was easier to convert to than Windows, don't it?" Elsewhere in GameCube homebrew development, it looks like the GameCube Linux project is moving along quite swiftly, with "a 22 MB Debian base system image" now available, and an "ARAM block device driver" also created, now allowing 40mb of space for Linux to run in.

As a proud XBox and PS2 owner I *still* think that GC sucks.. And I'm outraged that someone takes the time to port Linux and a whole frickin' Database server to that machine.

I demand you port mySQL, PostgreSQL and everything else to my great american XBox console system.
