Embedded Servers
Embedded Server:
An embedded server is typically a part of a bigger solution and provides dedicated services to that solution. Some embedded servers are pre-installed in devices and run out of main memory (ie. diskless).
An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system, which is completely encapsulated by the device it controls.An embedded system has specific requirements and performs pre-defined tasks, unlike a general-purpose personal computer.

Pic web server
The idea is simple: take a PIC (Microchip's microcontroller) and connect it to an ethernet card. Write some code and get a really small and really cool webserver.
The project behind this idea is picnic. Picnic started in summer 2001 and supports meanwhile ARP, IP, ICMP, TCP and HTTP in a useful manner. Naturally the PIC limits our implementations of protocols to a rudimentary state, but nevertheless it's possible to ping the PIC and to use it as a small webserver
