Sun co-processor card for sale...

by Adam Keck

Hello All, I have a SunPCi II (model #: X2131A) board with memory and Sun PCi II 2.2.1 software for 20.00. I can bring it to next week's meeting, if anyone is interested. From http://www.mmayer.net/sunpci/sunpcii.html: * Processor: Intel Celeron * Clock: 600 MHz * Memory: 64 MB (max. 512 MB) * Part Number: X2131A (#375-0131) * Software Version: 2.2.1 * Supported Machines: Sun Ultra and Blade Workstations (Ultra 5, 10, 30, 60, 80, or 450; Sun Blade 100, or 1000) * Supported Guest OSes: DOS and Windows 3.11, Windows 9x, Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional * Solaris Versions: 2.6 and above I thought I would see if I could get Linux to run on it when I bought it, but between school and work I haven't had time... -Adam

Portable MP3 (and ogg) players and Linux

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI gang, I'm starting to investigate the purchase of a new toy - a portable music player. My preferences would be: - - flash, not hard drive, based - - standard batteries (AA,AAA, etc) - - works reasonably well with Linux - - plays ogg (nice but not necessary - aren't the files smaller than mp3) - - plays mp3 I currently have a perfectly functional RioVolt 250 and my only complaint is that it is quite bulky relative to what is available today. I was considering some of the offerings by iRiver, as there seems to be some support by the Linux community. Does anybody own an iRiver flash based player, and what is your experience with it? Does anybody have other recommendations in this area? Maybe we should make this the topic of a meeting??? Thanks, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC6s8qHl0iXDssISsRAm6QAJ92gZGJWjLnEHGHJejWuZiAhTZh0QCfcQpz 3EJaVxol5W6btG6a+4sRk8Y= =NZnt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [Wlug] Sun hardware for sale

by Chuck Anderson

It doesn't seem that you got my response. It is the tower version, not the pizza box: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/Example/component.front_zoom.h… I don't remember if it has an OS on there, but you can download various Linux distros or Sun Solaris for free to install. The 450 is a refrigerator sized box: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/E450/E450.html This is a standalone unit with the side panels and wheels. There is no rack and no rack mount kit with it. It plugs in using a single standard PC-style IEC electrical cord, but has redundant power supplies. You can pick this up during business hours 9am-5pm at the Network Operations Center, WPI Morgan Hall/Lower Wedge, next to the Access Grid where we hold the WLUG meetings. We can only take cash.

Follow up to tonights meeting

by Mike Leo

Howdy! We covered a few topics tonight, including this one: http://news.com.com/2008-1082_3-5065859.html?tag=lh and this one: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=141352 And more discussions about gentoo vs (insert distro here). We covered some iPod things, and maybe helped someone with a perl script. I showed off my little Dell L700 laptop and enlightenment desktop manager...very lightweight and has nice eye candy, but no icons. Lots of discussions around Intel and AMD as well...hopefully we will see that pdf regarding the lawsuit... Also, I was just slashdot'ing: Linux: Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday July 14, @06:53PM from the we-tried-to-tell dept. rm69990 writes "In a recently unsealed email in the SCO vs. IBM case, it appears that an outside consultant, hired by SCO in 2002, failed to find copyright violations in the Linux Kernel. This was right around the time Darl McBride, who has before been hired by litigious companies as CEO, was hired. It appears that before SCO even began its investigation, they were hoping to find a smoking gun, not believing that Linux could possibly not contain Unix code. Apparently, they ignored the advice of this consultant." I guess thats about it! ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
