[Freemint-list] FreeMiNT for 21st century

[Mark Duckworth]

And thank you for that btw.  That is the exact reason for my resurgence
in interest.  The MonSTer is really a perfect device for my 1040ste for
instance.  Lately though I've been working on my Mega STe and have come
to the sad conclusion that ssh will never happen on this box :-P

Regarding your other comments - the health of the atari community is
quite good compared to the health of the sharp zaurus community.  The
zaurus was produced way into the 2000's and had a vibrant community of
enthusiasts...  it is pretty soundly dead - 100%.  Most of the most
recent software is dated 2007 or earlier.  We are really in very good
shape IMHO, just need more kernel and XaAES contributors instead of all
the fragmentation (MyAes, etc).

Thanks,
Mark
