BSD, SSH and PHP on my iPhone
Tonight I installed BSD system on my iPhone. Once that is complete I installed openSSH, Term-vt100. I opened terminal and changed my root password using the command passwd.
I found the ip of the iPhone using the command ifconfig. Latter I was able to connect to the iPhone using ssh from my laptop ;-). I was even able to ftp files to my iphone over SSH.
I Installed apache, php edited httpd.conf and I was able to run php scripts from my iPhone. It has all the basic modules that is needed to write a simple powerful application with sqlite. Taken a screenshot too 
Wow this gadget is really amazing

I have installed vt100, open ssh and BSD subsystem but when I type password in terminal it says command not found. Is there any place I can find list of vt100 comands and their format?

Hi,
you might wanna try lighttpd cause will useup less memory and CPU. Apache is a bit hungry
Anyway, without a DB engine (e.g.: mysql?) not too many things can be done… Do you have any idea about bento running on ipod touch/iphone? Maybe can be used for building some small “online” applications?
anyway, have fun!
