World's Smallest Web Server
By David FiedlerDefinitely not bigger than a breadbox...just a matchbox!
I've impressed a lot of people with the Web server I carry around on my PalmPilot (including the chairman of 3COM, whom I met at a press conference), but this one is just a shade smaller.
While the computer it's built around (a 66 MHz 486SX with 16 MB of RAM) would be considered obsolete for desktop Windows purposes, it runs Linux just fine. That's an interesting point about the relative efficiencies thereof, when a Unix system -- which used to be thought of as "bloated" -- can work where Windows 98 (not to mention NT) would fear to squeeze.
And yes, when you look at that page, you're accessing that server!
Of course, my PalmPilot server will operate via cellular phone, but that's
another story. :-)
