Surely ye jest!? I would be very interested to here why Franxis is not interested in Pandora, what with he being the main dude behind arguably THE killer app for the '2X. I thought he would've been sent a MK0 anyway- no?

Thanks chip- it better represents Linux's mainly excellent USB support now than it did before. Previously the FAQ made it sound like Pandora users would be lucky to get anything working when that will not be the case at all. Didja know Linux was the first OS/kernel to have USB2 support?

http://distcc.samba.org/ anyone?

Hi Nubie! I have experimented with DVB-T (Digital TV) viewing and recording using Kaffeine under Linux on my PC and it works great. Seeing as Kaffeine is a KDE app we could do with an alternate app for use on the Pandora. I know xawdecode is also supposedly capable of viewing and recording DVB...

Hi Pickle! Thanks for your suggestion-I do get the point you are making about binary incompatibility (ie you can't run a PC/x86 distro on an ARM device) but IMO I don't see how what I wrote could be mistook for 'try booting a PC Linux distro on your Pandora' when I meant 'try plugging your USB...

I would like to alay an increasingly common misconception breeding on these boards relating to using USB devices with the Pandora, as I think the way things are portrayed in the Pandora FAQ ( http://pandorawiki.org/FAQ#Will_I_be_able_...h_my_Pandora.3F ) make things sound a lot worse than they...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5i9cWOK1spw :o So there was me thinking Pandora would creak under the strain of XFCE when I see this video of some OMAP 3 device having no problem running both GIMP, Nautilus, xmms and more- under Ubuntu/GNOME! I think it reasonable to expect the Pandora will be...

rox is the best choice of desktop environment for the pandora, yes. I know because I've tried all the popular desktop and window manager combos out on the Zaurus. XFCE/Thunar was way too sluggish on the Z and I don't think it will be that much better on the Pandora in all honesty. As already...

OK lets get a couple of things straights about 'Pandora for people who love Windows' 0 - There are quality FOSS substitutes for every almost every common multimedia or desktop computing use- just ask if you want to know the Linux equivalent to... 1- If you're hoping to emulate modern PC games...

np beoran! Just another classic case of gotta post/post before you think/read any docs- we've all done it :) I look forward to seeing what you will (help) create for our power pocket pal the :pandora1:

Pandora 'console version' would be actually be a downgrade from Pandora normal seeing as it loses one of its key selling points- its high portability- and hence would be doomed to absolute failure. I can't think of a single console or computer that was released as a portable first and then as a...

Yes, of course, I mentioned chibi in my first post and I have successfully run it on the Zaurus too. I know the P4 is hardly state-of art but they are still a damn sight more powerful than the cortex (albeit consuming many times the power and producing much more heat and noise) and most...

snu: It was DasFool, not I, who made the previous milky statement. As has been mentioned, Milly can import almost all modules (inc .IT) but it only exports MOD and .xm. However, .xm does support 16-bit samples http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM_(file_format) Unless one of the other establlished...

snu: No need to write anything from scratch http://www.milkytracker.net/ Recently GPL'd so now in Ubuntu, Debian, SuSE, Gentoo etc. http://www.pawfal.org/Software/SSM/ spiralmodular is a very cool analogue synth that I've compiled and ran successfully on the Zaurus and will run even better...

I agree with the OP on the importance of build quality in the success of pandora, but the other important 'make or break' factor from where I'm standing revolves around the choice of default packages and their configuration in the pand OS. It been discussed in several threads already although...

foobillard! :D Yes, great suggestion! I've been thinking about this too as IMO foob is one of the best FOSS games thus far- it is the Linux cousin/ descendant of Jimmy Whites WWS. My other fave foss games being Kenta Cho's gunroar, xmoto and all the iD games- iD being the 800lb gorilla in...

It can be hard to tell but it sounds like you're not joking on that one so I must inform you that that disc image is took straight from the early Amiga kickstart ROM- its the image the Amiga would show when you turned it on with no disc in its drive.

IMO the Pandora team should try to avoid re-inventing the wheel as far as the X11 environment is concerned, whereever possible.The 'other' GUI, well thats different and I don't think they really have any other options. Anyone know of a good SDL network config tool?? I'm presuming the gmenu-style...

Well, I would be VERY ;) surprised if it didn't come with ifconfig- thats almost as bad as not coming with ls innit?? Why that should upset you or seem offensive I don't really undestand but we're not going to get upset about it as no mocking was intended ja? I'm not that type. OK!?! ;)

Cloaked attack? Just how was I 'attacking' you? :blink: :o I'm no networking genius but I know the basics and enough to know that you can change your MAC address with ifconfig, which as I'm sure you know is a central/standard tool in the Linux TCP/IP stack, ala ifconfig <interface> hw...
