I also suggested this a few months back, there's a thread around here somewhere. if all emus had a uniform CLI interface then roms could be launched by simply selecting them in the file manager. other `frount end' features could be integrated right into the file manager.

QUOTE You didn't even read or understand anything I said, did you? There WILL be a package manager for the firmware, simply not for removable medias like SD Cards as it leads to a lot of problems. And there WILL be 99% dynamic linking - except for any non-common libraries. just didn't read...

linux - package management and dynamic linking = bloated and useless OS like windows.

If headphones dont come with a angled plug, its not hard to cut off the straight one, and solder on an angled one;)

Personally I prefer Arch, but support for a 'main stream' distro on the Pandora can't be a bad thing.

windows is $&%^, end of story ;)

QUOTE OK, by that logic an 8GB card will be badly abused by having a couple dozen 1MB apps that are now 1.75 MB apiece due to statically linked libraries? I think that people using HD 720p video clips will be a worse abuser of the space. 16GB are reasonably priced, and 32GB are around...

if the applications are statically linked, and there is no built in package manager, that prity much destroys my whole interest in this project. statically linking means having multiple copy's of the same thing, which wastes space for no good reason. not having a package manager would mean no...

QUOTE I hope the keyboard layout works decently with Vim. hopfally beatter than a PC keybord, where you have to press shift all to often i.e. : $ and !

Tiles defiantly. I tryed to create a game with collision data stored in a separate file, it was a PITA trying to align everything with the image background. in the end i rewrote the whole thing using a tile based engine, then lost interest in the project :( QUOTE Ok so if I use a tile engine...

Linux is very modular so you can quite easily make it look like anything. Even if the Pandora did only have CLI at launch, I doubt it would be long before someone makes/ports a GUI for it. Linux's CLI is far more powerful than DOS...

QUOTE I figured going slightly overboard slightly... QUOTE watching video and using compiz compiz is useless, end of story. why the hell do you need such a powerful system for watching video? even my 2 year old 1.66 ghz(locked in 1000mhz mode), GFGO 7200(underclocked), minimal Arch Linux...

on the subject of background colours I personaly find black text on a gray background (#aaa) easier to reed

So long as the site remains table free, I don't rilly care what it looks like. I have firefox set to not load background images, set backgrounds to medium gray and text to black. its so much easier to reed.

I do know what Open office can show power point presentations, hence: QUOTE unless someone ported OO.o however I don't know whither its been ported to ARM or not.

wouldn't work, power point only runs on windows, which only runs on X86 hardware. unless someone ported OO.o

thanks.

which do you prefer. shadow or no shadow

the 8800 GT use to be the best 'bang for buck', but I haven't looked into graphics cards recently so that may well have changed. Persnally i use a cheep GF7600GS, runs Blender verry well(on Linux), so its good enough for me :D
