Works in Mozilla 1.8b under Linux.

What about all those operating systems that are listed on pegasosppc.com ?
I can't get any information about status for those from the main developers, like they don't know that there is anyone working on a version that works on Pegasos.

Hi Trizt, all the Linux stuff mentioned works in one version release or another. FC-4 will have official support for the platform and a new Knoppix release is coming. Sven ported Ubantu a couple of days ago. We should add that. Admittedly, SuSE is far behind for a PowerPC release after the Novell acquisition.

As for the rest, here is the list:

AROS: we provide a PegasosPPC. Last word: project stalled due to lack of developer time.
Haiku: just traded emails with Axel Dörfler this week. He has an ODW and is working on it.
Amiga: everyone knows what will run and what will not.
NewOS: again developer has a machine; the kernel boots (not much more done overall - that is for the broader market).
QNX: big customer, big commercial opportunity. QNX has the ODW and the other two companies concerned.
Zynot: they have a PegasosPPC: status unknown.
FreeBSD: the MiniMac almost boots, when this happens we have a Developer standing by. We provided a PegasosPPC a long time ago - that developer disappeared.
OpenDarwin: Developer has ODW; progress being made.
NetBSD: boots; two important NetBSD developers have the ODW

Many things slowed down at the end of 2003, but you can be sure things are moving again.

R&B Smile

This is great news. Since I have quite a lot of interest in Haiku and also
follows the progress in that project, I almost can assure you that
things will happen fast with great quality. The CVS commits by that man is incredible. Basically I consider him almost as a genius.
I will send him an email and ask if he needs help testing or tryout code.
But Haiku suffers from the same situation as AROS does; there are not enough Axel's in the world and Haiku needs more developers.
It would be great if we can boot the NewOS based kernel of Haiku on a Pegasos.

Great work BBRV!

TimK, can't you clone him? Wink

The developers who making Pegasos versions of different operating systems, even those who makes some new linux distros like zynot, seems to be all to quiet. Would have been nice if they could make a statement from time to time and yes, I think there would be quite many who would like to beta test, I wouldn't mind to beta test QNX even if that would requier a strict NDA.
