<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>
<DIV><BR>is anyone interested in this "kind of distro" running on PowerPC?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Minimalistic GNU/Linux system, stripped down of everything, but core
necessary files to compile and run OpenGL/C code. It has simplified directory
structure and cleaned up internal cross referencing. Programs compiled in myOS
will run on any Linux with or without X.
<BR>------------------------------------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>as you can see there, im trying to find the place where to upload it, but,
meanwhile, to SEE what im talking about you can try myOS x86 version...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>OR, </DIV>
<DIV>better yet - try these PowerPC binaries <BR><A

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>there is 6.7Mb zip with LOTS of COOL OpenGL and other demos... game
DOOM !</DIV>
<DIV>(drivers and everything included, just unpack & run)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>--- about "myOS-ppc"
-------------------------------------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>in new version we use *initramfs* so the whole distro can load in ONLY 64MB
of RAM,<BR>that means some very old G3 Macs, however i still can NOT make the
demos run on my test platform G3/64MB/333Mhz ...maybe because there is not
enough *free* memory, and is hard to find that kind of RAM today and upgrade
that Mac... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>so, we would very much appreciate if you can let us know if the
above OpenGL demos work on your ppc-Linux, what is your PowerPC machine,
what graphic card and how much RAM/VRAM it has?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>...we're basically trying to work out minimum possible PowerPC
platform, <BR>so, if you have some embedded hardware we wonder if some of the
demos would work...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>but also,<BR>some "game-station" ...well whatever is running PowerPC and
Linux we would like to know if those Scitech drivers and OpenGL demos work on
that platform...</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>even, if your hardware can not "play" OpenGL or</DIV>
<DIV>if you are not interested in 3D, there is still the whole</DIV>
<DIV>miniature development platform that can be used for... whatever</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>main point to make it really teensy was just so it can run from
"RAMDISK" </DIV>
<DIV>and be quick & responsive... it turned out that embedded
devices of </DIV>
<DIV>today are more powerful than desktop computers of yesterday, so this
</DIV>
<DIV>"kind of distro" fits easily on embedded platform...</DIV>
