A meeting like so would probably be best suited for January. That would give me time to get kitchsync working. Also i hope i can i have a ipaq to install linux on (mine has already been ..... well, exorcized). Wes has been wanting to do for some time, let's hope he can make it January's meeting. Are there any other ipaq owners which would like to have this done? On Tuesday 10 December 2002 09:09 am, Marc Hughes wrote:
Since the ipaq install was described as a mini-demo, perhaps a PDA night? IPaqs, zauruses, palms, whatever else.
I'd suggest... How to install linux on them. (including explanation of distros, and package formats) How to sync them with a linux desktop. How to sync the linux pda with a windows desktop. Other cool stuff? good list of ideas.
war-walking? what is war-walking?
Hmm... Not sure how easy it is to show off PDA stuff to a large group due to the screen size. I bet there's solutions to that (run vnc on the pda?) Yeah the size could be a problem. VNC is a good idea, and i think i does work on the ipaq.
And also... Perhaps another talk someday could be "Linux on unusual devices" ... PS2, dreamcast, toasters, refidgerators, whatever weird things linux is running on. Anyone got any ideas there? That does sound interesting.
