Is Prex an QNX demo on a floppy ?
Submitted by atang1 on Wed, 04/26/2006 - 03:13.
I had a QNX demo on a floppy, with 1730 files of posix codes. It can set up the external modem to go thru a window manager and activate a html browser. You connect to your internet on a 1.44 floppy. It works even today, but the browser is inadequate.
Prex 0.4.1 is about 400kb. It can emulate posix. It can send an URL connection packet. Does it miss the dialup external modem setup? Does it miss the xserver for window manager and a better html and xml browser?
So, we have to boot into Prex and send packets to a Linux server on the internet, or a local xserver to use Linux applications?

If prex is to be the thread console on a floppy ?
Then it must be able to handle http:, file: and search: in text commandline input. This will enable gui icon clicking later.
Sounded like 350kB Dillo can be the window manager and browser of Prex, if fluxbox does xserver?
Console includes keyboard, mouse external modem and monitor. If it couples(by sockets and backports) to Byzantine with 2.5.75(750,000 threads on 1 gb dram), WOW ?
Footnote
The largest application of threads is probably visa credit check, at 150,000 applications per second. It will take many Linux cpu threads to accomplish this kind of order of magnitude. On the otherhand, QNX is not even 2000 threads on a cpu.
