iPAQ 3835 and linux?

by Wesley Allen

Hi everyone, Well, I just traded in my old iPAQ and got the new 3835 (games are possible at last, yea!!!). This version comes with serial connector, along with the usb one. This means that, finally, I can get the boot loader installed on my iPAQ and run linux! Couple of questions first, though... Has anyone run linux on this version yet? The hardware is essentially the same, but you never know... Which version should I install? Is yopy's distro available? What about zarus'? Should I use embedded QT, or go with a straight familiar distro using blackbox? Does embedded linux able to mount filesystems on secure memory cards? Just need to know in case I want to get one. Where are good places to get software for embedded linux? Any good games/emulators? What about running pocketPC software? Has anyone screwed with their spouse's head by using the universal remote yet? I'm looking foward to wiping 2002 off my iPAQ, it's got the ugly "kindergarden" interface that helps me despise XP so much. Wes

Re: [Wlug] No 2.2.x kernel with redhat 7.1?

by Scott Venier

My guess would be that you upgraded the system and that you built yourself a 2.2.16 kernel on it before the upgrade. I say this because I don't have anything other then 2.4.2-2 in my /lib/modules.

No 2.2.x kernel with redhat 7.1?

by Keller, Tim

Why the hell when you install Redhat 7.1 it installs the 2.4.2 kernel but when you into /lib/modules you see stuff for 2.2.16? Tim.

Microsoft marketeese aside, caring for a network is a different set of skills than caring for unix servers (though there is a certain amount of overlap), and in any good sized organization the two are likely to be two seperate sets of people. That said, the best way is probably to set up a network with a few machines for yourself. Set up a few machines with a two or three nics each, and play with some simple routing setups. Set up a printer and file server, sharing the same set of files and printers out to multiple client platforms. Install and configure various packages like apache, perl, etc - from the source tarballs. Make your own network cables. Basically, play around, see how badly you can break stuff, and then learn how to fix it! -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu, fs at suave.net | $ x 15 Full-time WPI Network Tech, Part time Linux/Perl guy | If you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses. -- Stephen Wright

Hello, I am interested in getting involved in any project that I can put my Unix skills to use. I want to build up some experience that I can use to further my career objectives in becoming a network administrator. Does anyone need an extra pair of hands for a project? Thanks.

I will miss you, but it's too late to get another date, so I will be there anyway. Does anybody have a copy of Redhat 7.1? If you would bring it to the meeting I will trade it for a cash incentive or pay for your beer and pizza, at your option. I was planning to save postage by ordering 7.1 and 7.2 from cheapbytes at the same time. But as soon as 7.2 came out they quit offering 7.1.

WLUG Meeting TONIGHT Wed Nov 14th

by Andy Stewart

Hi Everybody, Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend this evening's WLUG meeting due to a rotten cold and a low grade fever which I seem to have picked up somewhere. I would encourage all of you to meet this evening, and some brave soul who has been in WLUG for a long time can get up and run the meeting in my absence. Have a beer for me at the Boynton! Here is what I had planned to report to the group this evening. I would like somebody to read this to the group in case folks haven't checked their e-mail before the meeting. 1) WLUG financials I have consolidated the accounts so that all of the WLUG money is in an account at the Lowell Five bank in Chelmsford, MA. I just paid the $50 fee to join the Boston User Groups as was voted at a previous WLUG meeting, and I wrote myself a $75 check for refreshments for the calendar year 2001. That leaves us with approx. $575.00 in the bank, which has been raised through your donations as well as install fest proceeds. 2) Annual Linux Showcase This event was not attended nearly as well as in past years, due in part to the fear of flying and by the fact that many computer people have been recently laid off. There were only half as many vendors as in the past, again due to the economy, I suspect. I found the quality of the techinical talks to be very good. I heard talk that there wouldn't be an ALS next year, but that Maddog was pushing for a small number of more local conferences, perhaps one in Boston. Some cool things which I saw at ALS: a) Linux running on a Compaq iPAQ, one running X and an xterm, the other running Qt Embedded with a bunch of PDA like applications. Refer to http://www.handhelds.org for more information. b) Latest versions of Gnome and KDE in action c) A large number of kernel hackers (including Linus) on one room d) A cluster of small embedded computers built by Los Alamos National Labs, all running Linux out of FLASH memory. e) A great beer selection at the Pacific Coast Brewing Company I personally spoke to Jim Gettys and a representative from the Free Software Foundation (I think his name was Brad, but I have his card). I might be able to get one or both of these folks to come to WLUG to give a talk in the future. I guess I'll have to save the freebies until next month. See ya later, and have a great meeting!
