OpenBSD Up & Running on Sharp Zaurus

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.

    http://s2putty.sourceforge.net/

    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.

      Who doesn't have a fully capable ssh client in their shirt pocket?

      PuTTY works on Symbian S60 and S90 and QIC and PPC and lots of other things, as does Mochasoft.

      ssh for blackberry is at http://www.needtext.net/shell/index.jsp

      ssh for palmos is at http://www.sealiesoftware.com/pssh/

      ssh for native Sharp Zaurus (i.e. without replacing the OS) is at http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1 035

      ssh for Pocket PC is at http://pocketputty.duxy.net/viewtopic.php?t=5

      ssh for Symbol industrial handhelds is at http://www.pragmasys.com/HandHeld/industrial_pocke tvt_index.html

      ssh for non-smartphones (i.e. regular phones that have a JVM) is at http://www.idokorro.com/imsshphone.html

      I couldn't find ssh for the Newton, I admit. But that doesn't fit in a shirt pocket.

      Did I miss anything? Anyone ported it to the ipod yet?

    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!
