what is the best cpu/schematic for the linux based OS and it is the smallest that we can build?

  1. It was a dark and stormy night, and Mylinux managed to scribble:
    The best CPU for Linux is the ENIAC I, thouh advanced users have migrated to ENIAC II.
    Phone Alan Turing for cpu advice - he knows a lot.

  3. OK, first, who is 'we'. Is this the royal 'we'?

    Your questions so far have been too short to even be amusing, but I don't think you have
    offended anyone yet. You still can get some responses.

    The smallest solution that will run Linux is a one chip solution, if you don't count the
    power supply, serial support, oscillator and ethernet phy chip. Look at Axis 100LX MCM. You can have
    a one chip computer.

    And there is just no such thing as best.

    And again, too much cross-posting.

    Boki called and he wants his question back.

  6. You can't meaningfully ask for "best" before having say what exactly
    you mean by "good", first.

    There is no such thing as CPU/schematic. Those are two rather
    distinct stages of designing and building a computer.

    To giv you a rough impression about what sizes you can possible
    expect: some guys at IBM managed to get Linux to run in a (somewhat
    bulky) wristwatch.

    Probably not the smallest, but LaRT is worth a look:

    A PDA with a hi res screen and Lineo or other such appropriate OS.

    So did I, but I needed a shopping trolley under my arm to carry the weight
    of the 19" SVGA monitor.

    I think I would like to try a LART since it is an open source .
