    Blind Man's OS for Pandora

    Good Morning, long time lurker, first time poster(I was one of the classic pre-orderers burned by the old board manufacturer who recently escaped that limbo by upgrading to a 1Ghz unit). Anywasys, I am currently recovering from a detached retina and completely reliant on a screen reader to use...

    Porting Half Life To Pandora

    A Pandora-specific port is never going to happen, but what are the chances of a generic ARM-Linux port of the steam platform?

    Wine Running On A N900 (Maybe Pandora Too...)

    So we have two workers: gemu and wine One translates x86 to ARM. One translates Windows to Linux. Together, they translate x86 Windows to ARM Linux. And they do it with all the grace and coordination of a morbidly obese three-legged race team with no practice. I think the real question is...

    Pandora In Education

    In general, I feel that technology should enrich education not undermine it. Depending on how it is used, the Pandora is capable of doing either. I favor Linux and FOSS in general for the primary in school computer labs. In my experience, Linux systems are easier to "idiot-proof" when it comes...

    Pandora-Tan Character Art

    I disagree with the sentiment that Lolis cannot exude maturity. I cannot speak for anyone else, but I for one would love to see this -tan's loli incarnation.

    How Are You Going To Mod Your Pandora

    Once I adapt to using the Pandora's keyboard, I want to replace the keymat with a completely blank version. Not sure if I want to keep the glossy black or go for matte black. Otherwise, I cannot think of anything I am brave enough to attempt on such an expensive piece of equipment.

    How Many Of You Had A Gp2X?

    I have a GP32 BLU+. Originally wanted to upgrade to a GP2X, but lack of funds delayed that indefinitely. By the time I had money for a new handheld, commercial games had convinced me to buy a refurbished DS Classic and a GOW PSP. By the time I returned to opensource handhelds, the Pandora seemed...

    Why Can't The Pandora Emulate The Ps2?

    My understanding is that compiled machine code can be converted to uncommented assembling for the architecture it was compiled for. While porting could be done with such a disassembly, it would be very impractical especially since source and target architectures are unlikely to have one-to-one...

    Do You Use A Gnu/linux Distro On Your Main Computer?

    Animal mascots are sort of Ubuntu's thing. Still, combining their slogan with a picture of one of their mascots was a less than ideal marketing choice.

    Do You Use A Gnu/linux Distro On Your Main Computer?

    I am running KDE-minimal on top of Ubuntu Server. Not a PC gamer, so lack of Linux support is a non-issue for the most part*, and the only non-Linux application I have interest in(SolidWorks) is far outside my budget. *AudioSurf is the only PC-only, non-Wine compatible game I am interested in...

    Sega Saturn

    Maybe I should have added that I am running KDE-Minimal on top of Ubuntu Server, and have 250GB hard drive.

    Sega Saturn

    3.60 Ghz Celeron D, 1GB Ram, and unknown GPU. Does what I want it to do with stressing.

    Pdf Reader?

    This is good to hear. Personally, I hate the PDF format, but ePDFview is, in my experience, one of the best viewers for this format.

    Pandora Directory Structure Question

    I like the PND system as it stands. As for a "PND Manager" I wonder if it would be feasible to integrate PNDs with a more traditional package management system. Something along the lines of PND repositories that behave similar to a deb repository in Ubuntu, but with the default install...

    Silkscreening

    At first, I was about as apathetic as the last page of this thread, but the more it pops into my head, the more I think that I rather like the idea of an unadorned finish. After adjusting to the keyboard, I might consider doing a keymat mod and going completely blank.
