Post by: R.a.B.B.i.T on August 17, 2005, 05:41 PM
It runs on a PSP (http://www.pspworld.com/sony-psp/psp/windows-95-linux-on-psp-001223.php#more).

You can also run the basic linux kernel on a PSP.

I have tried putting Linux on my DS and it didn't do much, I tried putting Linux on my PSP and it was still just a console and file mover.

I might try that out, but i'm thinking it's going to be a crippled hard-to-work deal simmiliar to the Linux/PSP deal.

It depends on the capabilities.  I would love to have something that small that could plug into an ethernet jack (or, better yet, 2 ethernet jacks,  set up as a bridge) and run tcpdump, then give me the results later.  That would be extremely handy for diagnosing network problems or even stealing information :P

You might be able to adapt PicoTux (http://www.picotux.com/) if you really want a smart Ethernet jack. ;)

What hardware/software do you need to do a DS?  *stares at his DS and grins*

The rockability of an operating system can hardly be judged by its ability to be run on the Playstation Portable.

That's what gave me the idea in the first place :)

DSLinux (http://www.dslinux.org/) is the only one I know of.
I recommend getting a PSP btw. :)
