E17, Slimmed Down For Cell Phones
twitter writes "Want to run Enlightenment on your cell phone? The Rasterman's recent efforts bring E17 to Open Moko FreeRunner and Treo 650: 'According to the Rasterman, when used with his updated illume stack and new Elementary widget set, E17 can now run in just 32MB of RAM, on an ARM9 processor clocked at 317MHz. To prove it, he is distributing a Linux kernel and E17/Illume/Elementary stack for Palm's Treo650. The stack can be launched from PalmOS without touching the device's flash storage, he says.' While Microsoft fumbles with limited 'instant on,' GNU/Linux rules the embedded world and that's the only thing going in the IT market right now."
They can leave XP available for another several years. Just enough for Moore's Law to finally make it not look stupidly fat! Honest!

Windows CE can run on Devices with 8MB of RAM and 100mhz CPU, you linux geeks still got a ways to catch up.

Would it have killed the submitter to clue us in to what Enlightenment is?
here is a website that you may find of use in future.
there is nothing wrong with saying "the Enlightenment window manager" instead of just "Enlightenment".
And what about the windows/os x users on this forum who have no fucking idea what a window manager is? Should we cater to their stupidity too?
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.
Look, if you're unwilling or unable to click your mouse and press a few buttons when there's a term you're unfamiliar with, then the problem is your laziness, not the content of the article.
Would you have had Faulkner or Hemingway or Joyce include little dictionaries with all the hard words in them along with every book they wrote?
Wait that wouldn't work, because they should just explain them in the prose where your eyes are at that moment. You can't be bothered with dictionaries.
