I think the "small hardware" market is another area where Pharo can make a good showing for itself, because it's small & relatively lightweight compared to others. So it makes good sense to me to couple Pharo with a similarly lightweight OS. I like the idea of "Pharo as OS + app on dedicated ha

Ted what I can tell you is that we are really interested in having Pharo more configurable (even from the VM point of view) to support better connection with small hardware os. The crew started to look at the protocols you mention :) And I’m starting to look around for money to do a POC we wil

I really like this idea of a minimal Linux distro that runs a minimal Pharo image that can be changed on demand according to different needs. It reminds me about some customized Linux distros I made in early 2000's, one called Scilix to package math packages for my undergrad students and after that

And it seems to be quite stable, too. I couldn't crash it (though I didn't try hard). I've had the 64-bit version of Pharo 8 running on TinyCorePure64-11.1 (out of RAM) for 8 hours now, and it's still working fine. Forums on TinyCore contain comments such as, "TC Linux embodies what is best in

I love it. Now imagine with our specialised kernel or shrunk down version… We are preparing to - remove a lot of code from Pharo 90 (spec1, eye inspector, GT, Glamour….) - but also to give the possibility to load on demand projects that we are integrating and TESTING

This is running 32-bit Pharo 80 on 32-bit TinyCore 11.1 (Linux kernel 5.4.3). There is a 64-bit version of TinyCore, which I plan to test next... Then test 64-bit Pharo 80 and try Pharo Launcher on top of that. Then on a Raspberry Pi... Here's what's intriguing about this: TinyCore Linux is SU

This is cool... After I booted TinyCore Linux[1] on my 10-year-old netbook[2], I decided to see if it could run Pharo... It does! Details: [1] http://tinycorelinux.net/ - TinyCore Linux "CorePlus", 32-bit, version 11.1. - Booted from a YUMI multiboot thumbdrive. - Installed 'curl', 'bash', Fir
