OpenBSD Up & Running on Sharp Zaurus

Posted by timothy on from the schmallness dept.

Eh-Wire writes "OpenBSD is now up and running on the Sharp Zaurus C3000. A photograph of the OpenBSD powered Zaurus shows it sitting beside another fine Western Canadian product that can boast an equal measure of integrity as that of the OpenBSD/Zaurus OS - Big Rock Beer! The world now has a fully capable ssh machine that fits in a shirt pocket. Good work guys!"

    PuTTY has been available on Symbian 60 phones for a little while now.

    Works really well for emergency usages but typing stuff on the normal phone keypad can be a bit of a pain.

    I can use a bluetooth keyboard with the phone too but that doesn't really fit in my pocket.

    Too bad Sharp Zaurus SL-6000L is not available from any US vendor out there.

      As far as I know, neither is the beer.

      So what is the point of this article? To taunt us with their l33t importing skills. And then to flaunt their superior Canadian hops?

    After the OpenBSD/cats was completed...

    Well, I knew Linux will run on a badger and that NetBSD will run on a toaster, but a Cat? Bravo, Theo, you've done it again!
