Very cool. They also link to a handy 191 entry long list of PowerPC operating systems which is worth a perusal;

Hmm. My ISP (Virginmedia) has blocked that site. Clearly an Intel plot.

Actually, so has Vodafone. Is it full of naughty ads?

I am on my mobile phone data connection here in Italy (TELECOM ITALIA MOBILE) and it doesn't load neither.

I got that from a different mobile provider. It's making me very curious about what is lurking on that site now. Forbidden fruit and all that.

It's just a very plain, basic table of operating systems 🙂

Anything interesting there or is it just 191 shades of Linux?

There's a fair bit of historical stuff - older versions of the usual suspects but nothing that stirred me to investigate further.
The main point of interest was on the link I posted, the Yocto Project - there's a demo on Youtube and it looks quite promising - long way from completion though.

I get 502 bad gateway

I get a "blocked" message on my work PC and 502 on my phone. There's definitely something weird going on!

Edit: Works from home.

Here's a zipped copy of the page as a flat html file (i.e. the filtering options won't do anything).

The Hungarian network must be blacklisted on your networks. Freedom of information!

This project is still progressing, very slowly!

The laptop prototypes testing is progressing great. We tested the primary power supply stage of the CPU, one the most power hungry components in the board, and it is being fine-tuned thanks to a programming apparatus.
