Has anyone (is anyone) investigating the feasibilty of a NetBSD port to
the Handheld Windows CE computers?
I would have thought they would be too small in terms of mass storage.
But, with a FLASH card, I don't see why it's not possible.
My primary intrest in this is related to troubles writing "real world"
applicatifons. Mainly, writing simple things to use the HPC for
instrementation.
The reason I think NetBSD would be a viable option is centered around
this problem, I don't want to have to use the windows enviroment. I'd
rather use perl/python, etc. AFAIK NetBSD/i386 pcmcia could be used for
this, making general archetecture, CPU, and console support the primary
issues. (as well as a C compiler-- I think)
So, does anyone have any thoughts?
thanks.
