- tialaramex 5y agoWow. I had no idea ELKS was still being developed. I think it may even have been last century when I last saw it boot. I wonder if Al knows there are still people working on it.
- anigbrowl 5y agoYeah, I was immediately suspicious because Linux 1.0 was 386+ only due to memory management needs. but I did get a faint twinge of nostalgia for the orange-tinted plasma display on a portable that had the size, weight, and aesthetics of several bricks.
- Fnoord 5y agoSure, same with [1]. I still think its cool. What would be a better title though? [1] https://befinitiv.wordpress.com/2021/06/24/android-9-on-a-gsm-phone-from-year-2000/ https://befinitiv.wordpress.com/2021/06/24/android-9-on-a-gs...
- fsiefken 5y agoWouldn't fuzix be a better alternative on a 286? not that expect using a 286. if i'm going to a more simple processor i would do it for the low power consumption it'd could bring https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-8086/msg00863.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-8086/msg00863.html
- anthk 5y agoMinix 2 is better, it has networking support. Check my comments at these HN threads.
- emsign 5y agoBut it's technically correct. It says "into" not "onto". :) But I got fooled as well.
- anthk 5y agoOn elks, I miss three things: - A gopher client. Delve or cgo should compile near straight. - Audio support. - AWK.
