I'm sure the author had a ton of fun achieving this. I must admit to loving this kind of thing despite the lack of utility. With respect to functional utility though, it's possibly worth pointing out to others that Linux had (has?) an option to compile for MMU-less hardware. This was the basis for uClinux [0]. Though it supported pre-emptive multi-tasking I'm not sure it ever supported 8-bit CPUs. Then there was LUnix [1] - a unix port for the C64 (written about a decade after the C64 came out). MMU-less, pre-emptive multi-tasking and (somewhat) usable. Not Linux, but still pretty amazing. Someone had even written a Small-C compiler for it [2]. You can watch a demo of it here [3]. People are very clever :) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9CClinux [1] http://lng.sourceforge.net/ [2] https://web.archive.org/web/20110106052323/http://www.reocit...
