    Three of us then. Just checking things are still working.

    Oh, and to create a little relevance to the group name, my extra cpu is in
    a cupboard somewhere...

    Happy Christmas!

    Not really, the last extra-cpu was the Risc PC PC 586 card which could
    allow Windows 95 to limp along or maybe even 98 at a push, and there
    isn't really much demand for that these days.

    We could always rededicate the group to making use of the extra-cpu
    cores which are currently unused on newer RISC OS machines.

    Must clear out this cupboard sometime - getting dusty.

    SWMBO. Encouraged me some time ago to put most of my old computer junk
    (Her word) up in the loft out of the way.
    Before that it was filling a number of shelves in a cupboard which she repurposed... (Filled with her junk... My phrase). ;-)

    I really must go up and have a look at what's there...

    Aside... Here this Ng is serviced by news.eternal-september.org on port119.
    In light of recent problems reported, I wonder if it will transport.

    We shall see...

    I am not a fan of web fora and don't keep up, but ISTR reading of 2
    efforts -- one chap who is running NetBSD on another CPU core, and
    another who was working on a threading library... is that right?

    Sounds like a great place to talk about that. If anyone is still here...

    There are quiet a few few efforts along these lines, another which
    springs to mind is https://github.com/TimothyEBaldwin/RISC_OS_Linux_Binary

    I'm hoping that one day I'll find the time to try it. At the moment I
    have dedicated RISC OS and Linux Pi's and VNC between them, but having
    them on the same box would give much greater scope for interaction
    between RISC OS and Linux.

    I hadn't, but this seems to be a dual-boot solution, not a new OS or
    anything, right?

    I'm not after dual boot, as I have enough Pi's to run each OS on a
    separate machine. What I want is both OS's on the same machine at the
    same time (under some type of hypervisor / container arrangement), this
    would allow simultaneous interaction without going off machine over a
    network - which is slow on RISC OS (and getting slower with RODs stack).

    Yes but with easy intercahnge of files between the two OS's, at least
    that's as I undestand it.

    I bought the FOURTress from him, with RISC OS as the prime OS, and clocked
    at 2.1G it is quite fast.
