PostgreSQL Ported to GameCube, Linux Progressing

Posted by simoniker on from the mega-geek dept.

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.

    I suppose that this is interesting, in a geeky/hacker way, but I really don't think it belongs in the games section.

    A little known fact: Geeks will actually jerk themselves off during bootup after completing this feat.
