Dear all, First post so please be nice lol!
We are looking at the viability of using a rumpkernel with a bare minimum set of drivers and whatever else may be required to run a graphical linux in a browser with networking and persistent file storage... I see that Antti has made an excellent first step and managed to get a text-based kernel with both input from and output to a user. What would it take to extend this ten-fold to, say, run a graphical Linux with video output to canvas (to, perhaps, embrace GPU rendering) but also be able to interact with the canvas to accept mouse and keyboard input. Additionally the ability to be able to use the browser cache to create a block device that could be used to a "persistent storage" so that data could be stored for offline use or if the browser session is closed??? We have been investigating many different possibilities over the last year and, some of which work "OK" but have some major limitations (such as performance) and others that don't have the ability to be easily developed... I appreciate a lot of development work would be involved, but I would like to gather some information as to whether a rumpkernel may be able to provide the middle-man to what we're trying to achieve... Thank you for everyone's time, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
