The World's Smallest Webserver (s)
The always excellent Russ Nelson sent us a report on the competition for the lucrative title of "World's Smallest Web Server". Apparently there are a few folks going for it. He writes "HP has one. Dallas Semiconductor has one (only $50). MMC Embedded
has one that isn't even
in the running, although it does have COM1-4 and LPT1. Dawning
Technologies' entry is a
joke: far too big to be "smallest". Stanford has one which is best known.
And Rt-Control has one named
uCsimm because it fits in a SIMM module. The latter two get bonus
points for running Linux. Phar Lap claims to have one, but it's a non-starter,
being PC-104 based. Dekad Ltd says theirs is really small, but
they don't have an Ethernet interface. The one from iReady really seems to
be the smallest, but it too lacks Ethernet. Emware's one is so small it
doesn't need any hardware (how they claim it's smallest without
reference to any hardware, I'll never know). "
There was another posted to slashdot only a few weeks ago called iPic. It's smaller than any of the ones mentioned here, I think. The URL is http://www-ccs.cs.umass.edu/~shri/iPic. html. The page has even been updated (new picture, more info) since it was first posted.
