hello,

is anyone interested in this "kind of distro" running on = PowerPC?

------------------------------------------------------------
http://one.xthost.info/= zelko/opengl.html

Minimalistic GNU/Linux system, stripped down of everything, but = core=20 necessary files to compile and run OpenGL/C code. It has simplified = directory=20 structure and cleaned up internal cross referencing. Programs compiled = in myOS=20 will run on any Linux with or without X.=20
------------------------------------------------------------

as you can see there, im trying to find the place where to upload = it, but,=20 meanwhile, to SEE what im talking about you can try myOS x86 = version...

OR,

better yet - try these PowerPC binaries
http://www.= scitechsoft.com/ftp/devel/demos/ppclinux/

there is 6.7Mb zip with LOTS of COOL OpenGL and other demos... = game=20 DOOM !

(drivers and everything included, just unpack & run)

--- about "myOS-ppc"=20 -------------------------------------------------------------

in new version we use *initramfs* so the whole distro can load in = ONLY 64MB=20 of RAM,
that means some very old G3 Macs, however i still can NOT = make the=20 demos run on my test platform G3/64MB/333Mhz ...maybe because there is = not=20 enough *free* memory, and is hard to find that kind of RAM today and = upgrade=20 that Mac...

so, we would very much appreciate if you can let us know = if the=20 above OpenGL demos work on your ppc-Linux, what is your PowerPC = machine,=20 what graphic card and how much RAM/VRAM it has?

...we're basically trying to work out minimum possible PowerPC=20 platform,
so, if you have some embedded hardware we wonder if some = of the=20 demos would work...

but also,
some "game-station" ...well whatever is running = PowerPC and=20 Linux we would like to know if those Scitech drivers and OpenGL demos = work on=20 that platform...

list of video cards supported:

http://= www.scitechsoft.com/ftp/snap/linux/readme-x86.txt

even, if your hardware can not "play" OpenGL or

if you are not interested in 3D, there is still the whole

miniature development platform that can be used for... = whatever

main point to make it really teensy was just so it can run from=20 "RAMDISK"

and be quick & responsive... it turned out that = embedded=20 devices of

today are more powerful than desktop computers of yesterday, = so this=20

"kind of distro" fits easily on embedded platform...

cheers,
zelko
