Linux, has been and it is the most ported operating system (or should I say kernel ?!!!) so far. I’ve seen it on PC’s, mobile phones, routers, servers of course, maiframe computers, tablets and so on. Yes many of you might say ”Hey there’s Android on my tablet!”, but just let me refer to wikipedia, which says: “Android is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices …” . Right even Android is Linux-based and yet very succesful.
Isn’t that fact a punch in the face for the pople who might say “open source can’t sell”. It sells and worths every penny because it is developed by enthusiasts and not some bored-coder-porn-addicted
.
Open-Source is often the best choice in many applications – yeah even IT security – since an open-source product has been tested and improved by a lot of people.
Now, as the article title says, I am very curious of the more crazy/interesting/cool devices on which linux was ported, so far. So let’s see what I came up with:
Linux on iPod
Yeah, that’s really cool and I am sorry for you Apple-fans but the penguin is so hungry it will eat up your iPod too. Well iPod it’s no more a “must have” device but if you had one and forgot it somewere in your basement , playing with linux on it will sure make you love it again. See http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/ .
Linux on GameBoy
Who dindn’t had one, or didn’t wanted a GameBoy as a kid? Well I’ll give you a tip: if you want to impress your friend with your “new Tablet”
try a linux for it. See http://www.kernelthread.com/publications/gbaunix/ .
Linux on Nintendo DS
That’s really a crazy one. I mean why? “Because it’s possible” – sombody answered. Ahem, so if you don’t like the original games you might wanna try linux. See: http://www.dslinux.org/ .
Linux on i”Shit” (iPad, iPhone etc.) and “xxx”droid devices
Those “linux” guys seems to take care of everything. They just can’t stop porting linux. See: http://www.idroidproject.org/ .
Well, linux seems to run everywhere, but let’s see the most crazyest device running linux:
Linux in your car : yes, as it was ported on Navysurfer I and II. Now you can enjoy linux while driving or having sex in your car
. See the product here: http://shop.vic-ltd.com/product_info.php?products_id=12025 .
What’s your favourite device running linux?
