This is just a suggestion. Wouldn't it be *G R E A
T* if someone ported a
basic Linux system on DREAMCAST????, i mean the new Generation machines have a lot of power and memory... most of the OS would be run from the CD, it could have a minimal KDE system with Netscape also a light word processor and spreadsheet (kword/kspread light ??) ....nothing more would be needed anyway in such a machine. Applications could be loaded directly from the CD (the OS would prompt you for them...) you could use ordinary USB PC keyboard and mouse, also support for zip Drives. a Lan2USB cable would provide network access. It might sound far fetched ,but it isn't! just think about how much it would further the Linux base!! (soon there will be a couple of million dreamcast owners out there...) it would show the world how powerful LINUX REALLY IS! I don't know if anyone will be found to create such a distribution, but just think about the marketing effect this project would HAVE! the sheer *HYPE* would be TREMENDOUS! you could start it as a community project under the leadership and sponsorship of DEBIAN Group!! I believe sega would be thrilled to provide technical documentation for the project... anyway MOST of the work is already been done on porting linux to the sh4 processor , look at : http://members.aol.com/redhtlinux/sh3/index.html http://home1.gte.net/hassey/linuxce/ http://www.linuxce.org |
