While it’s no Indigo
Espresso or a VAX Bar (though,
of course, there is NetBSD/sgimips and NetBSD/vax), at least you can log
in on a Mr.
Coffee. And while the JavaStation has been running NetBSD for a while,
full support is now completely in-tree:
NetBSD‘s Martin Husemann announced today
that he has fixed all outstanding issues with JavaStation support. This
means, that you can now run your JavaStation with a stock distribution of NetBSD/sparc.
The JavaStation-NC
is a network computer class machine built on the microSPARC-IIep processor.
More information about the JavaStation can be found in the JavaStation
HOWTO, Martin’s email to
the port-sparc mailing list and Valeriy E. Ushakov’s paper “Porting NetBSD to
JavaStation-NC“.
as soon as I acquire a JavaStation
Somehow you got the same person posted on the front page of slashdot with just a copy of this whole posting good job
When I first read that I thought that someone had literally ported NetBSD to a Mr Coffee (as in coffee brewing machine), not a JavaStation. Double take. 🙂 Considering how very portable NetBSD is, isn’t it strange that Linux was ported to it first?

Guess if I’d like to turn one of those babies into a Mini-ITX project ( http://www.mini-itx.com )…
Beeing the ignorant person I am, wtf is Javastation used for ?
What does it run by default ?
lennart, i had the same idea a few hours ago 😉
I like how slashdot copied this article word for word and didn’t give any credit whatsoever to osnews.com. How typical.

Perhaps “jschauma” is Jan Schaumann?
