I'd love to see Haiku runnning on this thing!
Try it and tell me how it goes!
bigmilkguy78@reddit (OP)
Is that another operating system?
Also, do you think I could have it set-up in the same "scheme" I'm using now.
As in, each "Puppy" here is stored in it's own respective folder in the second partition of the drive.

Excellent, I love debían soga.

Kinda random, but do you happen to have experience developing software on a system like this?
Muted-Scientist7900@reddit
Not really, merely desktop usage.
bigmilkguy78@reddit (OP)
Ah fair, thank you.
I just was having some challenges figuring out what tool to use for compiling a program.
Regardless, have a good one Muted-Scientist7900

gcc and make?

Once I downloaded the dev .sfs things started working out for me quite easily.
Exciting times!
Thanks These-Light6807!

Oh wow -- I used to have one of these. I also had a CF-30 and a CF-31. I still have a CF-53 sitting around somewhere.

Such a beautiful form factor.
Hope you're enjoying your CF-53.

I need to complete it... It is currently without a hard drive...
bigmilkguy78@reddit (OP)
Awesome, you got this though bro!
Plans on an OS to use?

Toughbook were decent laptops that could take a beating. Not sure there is anything current to replace them. Field techs I know now have standard laptops and they just get replaced more often.

I think the Dell Latitude is the only other laptop that fits the same bill
