OpenBSD Up & Running on Sharp Zaurus 32
Eh-Wire writes "OpenBSD is now up and running on the Sharp Zaurus C3000. A photograph of the OpenBSD powered Zaurus shows it sitting beside another fine Western Canadian product that can boast an equal measure of integrity as that of the OpenBSD/Zaurus OS - Big Rock Beer! The world now has a fully capable ssh machine that fits in a shirt pocket. Good work guys!"
The world had a pocket SSH client before.. (Score:3, Funny)

PuTTY has been available on Symbian 60 phones for a little while now.
http://s2putty.sourceforge.net/ [sourceforge.net]
Works really well for emergency usages but typing stuff on the normal phone keypad can be a bit of a pain.
I can use a bluetooth keyboard with the phone too but that doesn't really fit in my pocket.

That's my 3000. The two devices to the left are a 40gb hard drive and a CD-Burner, both fully functional. The mouse and keyboard do belong to the Zaurus. These things make a fantastic laptop replacement. In fact, I no longer carry a PDA, Laptop, or MP3 player (because I have a wired music remote for the Zaurus).
Although I have to admit that I'm running linux - A beta version of the stock rom that has been rebuilt along the lines of this: http://www.cacko.biz/ [cacko.biz]
And I should point out that SSH, both client and server, do work just fine under linux

I couldn't find ssh for the Newton, I admit. But that doesn't fit in a shirt pocket.
Did I miss anything? Anyone ported it to the ipod yet?

PocketPutty doesn't run on PocketPC 2002. If you have an older PocketPC, you can run PockeTTY [dejavusoftware.com]. It's not free software, but it's well worth the small price I paid for it.

So what is the point of this article? To taunt us with their l33t importing skills. And then to flaunt their superior Canadian hops?

Well, I knew Linux will run on a badger [strangehorizons.com] and that NetBSD will run on a toaster [netbsd.org], but a Cat? Bravo, Theo, you've done it again!

POWER-PLUG-0: plugged in, receiving 110 AC volts @ 50mhz
50mhz??? Shouldn't that be just 50Hz?
Re:Cats? (Score:2)
No, it should be 60 Hz, if it has the "American power settings" referred to in the boot messages, at least if "American" refers to the US or to most of the Americas (Chile and Argentina use 220V/50 Hz, according to the Electricity Around The World page [pandora.be] and this Frequency and Voltage Guide by Country [hittlepower.com]).

However, beer of that time was more like a fruit drink, it was the introduction of hops to Europe that saw the alchohol content rise. What was called beer before hops was renamed "little beer" and the new alcoholic beers were dubbed "big beers".
So beer had kept us alive for so long, it is sad that now it slowly kills so many of us. Life giver turned brain pickler.
