Hi John,
That's not quite correct, there is ELKS, embedded Linux kernel subset. It runs just
fine on my Amstrad PC 1640, which is governed by an enormously powerful 8086
processor. Only trouble is, there is no HDD on that computer, so you're somewhat
limited concerning installing libs and programs. One 360 K floppy (and I mean a real
floppy floppy...) is not so much. BTW, Jon "Maddog" Hall is a prominent contributor to
ELKS.
Bye now,
Christoph
