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!"

    Has anyone actually handed over the cash for one of these? They're not exactly cheap but are they a viable alternative to a laptop as a "going to client site and fixing stuff" piece of hardware?

    Beer used to be the staple source of water for people, adults and children alike. The fermentation process purified the water and made it safer than drinking the regular water supply.

    However, beer of that time was more like a fruit drink, it was the introduction of hops to Europe that saw the alchohol content rise. What was called beer before hops was renamed "little beer" and the new alcoholic beers were dubbed "big beers".

    So beer had kept us alive for so long, it is sad that now it slowly kills so many of us. Life giver turned brain pickler.
