  7. New maintainers on Who is Still Using FSP? · · Score: 1

    Freshmeat Project

    Back in the day, fsp was much better than ftp because it did not keep open connections per client, and used much less memory. This was very important when you had 100 request and only 8 meg of memory. Yes a server with 8 megs at one time was possible.

    Morseall is a morse code input server for Linux using the mouse buttons. Morse is being used to help the disabled use computers . A great way to learn morse code is to work on the computer using morse code instead of the keyboard for a few hours.

  14. Re:2mb? on Single-Chip Linux Computer · · Score: 1

    2mb may seem small, but linux uses a compressed read only flash partition. Our Asix developer board has telnet, ftp, http, busybox, libxml and 3 of our applications running with ~500kb still free!

  15. Root file system on Single-Chip Linux Computer · · Score: 1
