I'm in the process of building a system like that for myself, but perhaps a little smaller - mine will be based on an embedded microprocessor I've developed (so much work still yet to do ! at least a year out). But are you familiar with the V7 port that Robert Nordier has done ? It's been mentioned here before:

Here is his web site:

It appears to me there is really no need for such a modern mini-Unix system outside of hard core O/S theorists community.


I'm not asking for a _practical_ Christmas gift, and certainly not one that will help me at work.  As you say: at work I've got Kubernetes.  I think it would be aesthetically pleasing and fun to use.  Need has nothing to do with it.
