RE: FW: [Wlug] A bit off topic - phpnuke et al.

Zope does have a fairly steep learning curve. The biggest advantage it has is python. Since zope is written in python you can create "products" fairly quickly using existing building blocks. These building blocks handle most of the security for you. Now that I crossed over the hump of the learning curve I can implement a new object in less than a day. This includes all the programing to fully integrate it into my "product" and creation of the presentation layer to add, modify and delete the object. There is a Boston Zope Users Group (bzug), but it has been very quite lately. I have also spent a week at zope hq for training. You may contact me directly if you would like to discuss this further. hth, mike On Sun, 2003-04-27 at 20:38, Stephen C. Daukas wrote: > I've spent some time looking over the links and google...

I've had a great time with phpNuke: http://www.geek4.com/ I've spent some time customizing it, but even without that time it's an excellent package. -Marc (ok, maybe this was just a shameless plug for my site instead of a useful response!)

Re: [Wlug] Toshiba e330 + Linux

by Karl Hiramoto

The e330 uses the Intel ARM Xscale processor. This cpu is supported by the arm linux people. However, getting Linux loaded on this platform may be pretty hard. Would involve cross compiling a kernel, setting up a file system, and getting the thing to boot. Depends if Toshiba supports it. I believe Compaq semi supports the pocket PC Linux, but i have no personal experience with it. I would recommend against it, unless you really know what your doing, or want to do some hacking and you don't mind trashing your e330's existing filesystem. If your interested, i would google for "arm linux xscale" and start at the ARM linux page: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ On 27 Apr 2003, Chuck Haines wrote: > Hrm, perhaps I forgot to mention that it is a PDA, not a laptop. > > Chuck > > On Sun, 2003-04-27 at 19:32, Andy Stewart wrote: > > On Sunday 27 April 2003 9:11 am, Chuck Haines wrote: > > > I've had a Toshiba e330 for about 3 months now, however it runs windows > > > and I can't interface it with my linux machine.

Anyone know anything about midgard?

by Stephen C. Daukas

This is a Zope or phpnuke type set-up. it is LAMP-based (Linux, Apache, mySQL, perl/php)... Steve

RE: FW: [Wlug] A bit off topic - phpnuke et al.

by Stephen C. Daukas

I've spent some time looking over the links and google... Zope looks like it could be the ticket, but I have to do more digging. The reviews from this winter basically say that it is a fair bit of work to get going. For example, if you want to use Apache, you have to do some specific integration becuause Zope comes with its own http server... Then there is the issue of having to learn yet another GD little language - pyhton. Not that I have anything against it, but it is yet another langauge to learn and what I wanted was to not have to do that. Now, this is all based on two days of surfing, so I may be all wet... Maybe there is enough Zope folk out there to represent an opportunity to get a quasi sub group of WLUG? By the way - know anything about midgard, a LAMP-based system?

Does anyone have experience with the Zaurus 5600 and linux?

by Arturo

>From the looks of it, 5600 connectivity through usbnet is still pretty bleeding edge. Has anyone out there gotten the Zaurus SL-5600 connected with a linux desktop? Sharp was not kind in getting compatibility with linux. Anyhow, if anyone has any pointers let me know. Thanks Arturo -- Arturo <postgres(a)sedo.net>
