Talking about linux ... I've been looking for a linux port for the HPC platform. From google searches, one can find numerous ports, but they are almost always abandoned or reached the "managed to boot to penguin logo" stage. Then the messages trail off and most of them are dated a few months or years old.
The only viable one I've found thus far is NetBSD, but still it only allows boot up through CF card and I am not sure if it supports instant-on like wince.
So I guess the magic and allure of linux
(on PC
) is that it is actually a working port of a variant of unix onto another hw platform
(wintel
).
ok, back on this thread ... what's this thing about C:Amie's terrible linux experience? Why this sudden thread?
