    Apt Repositories For Pandora

    There is nothing wrong with a centralized package management (APT or otherwise) for general linux apps. There is nothing wrong with the Pandora File Archive hosting just static binaries. Every system has its benefits and flaws. I believe having both the archive and a package manager is the...

    Alarm clock?

    Beds are typically next to a power source. The easiest, guaranteed way would be to leave it on and charging, and have a cron job play the alarm sound at the proper time. Make sure the volume is up, too.

    Sales Suntrust thought you guys were fraudulent!

    I live in the US, I just got off the phone with Suntrust, as they had suspended my Visa Check Card (debit) because of a "suspicious charge from the UK" with a company name "G .. P .. 3? 2??" This is of course, the Pandora I ordered, and they reactivated the card when I verified the charge...

    Gentoo Linux - Taking it On!

    Why overcomplicate things? Just toss / on the SD Card and be done with it. No separate partitions, no touching the NAND. The ONLY possible exception is swap, depending on the benefits of swap partitions vs files.

    pandora archive

    The listed code generates the md5 from data, not a set of data that generates a given md5. Also, the password md5s aren't even exposed, and as mentioned above, the site has been restarted anyway. Stop your fearmongering.

    A Question of Legality...

    It's illegal in the UK to rip a CD produced before 2006? Ridiculous.

    Maximum size SDHC card that can be used?

    Nothing's stopping me from using a filesystem without such flaws -- like XFS -- on my SDHC card. I'll probably end up transferring things to it from the desktop over wifi and NFS or FTP anyway, and linux will handle the filesystems. FAT32 is indeed one of the reasons they're holding back on...

    How are you going to use your Pandora?

    Pretty much the common response. Laptop replacement Portable Emulation Homebrew, open source games, and we'll see what commercial stuff gets ported/written for it too. Development (c, assembler, java, maybe others) - I am interested in ARM assembler. I'll have to see how much the Pandora's ASM...

    Which external USB or Bluetooth keyboard will you use?

    Ever try touch-typing or coding on a 4-inch keyboard? I'm going to be developing on the Pandora, and that requires a keyboard where I can easily type a lot of characters like " ; { } ( ) < > [ ] . - / * and tab. The proposed keyboard schemes would require a lot of function-keys for those, as...

    Multi-Media Capibilities

    The problem with hi res video is how are you going to get it out of the device? Screen, S-Video out, USB all have the same limitation: Inability to carry that resolution of video.

    Programming in Netbeans/Eclipse/IDE Possible?

    I use vim and make. Works pretty well.

    OSX on Pandora

    Mac OSX is not possible, sorry. It's only for PPC and x86 and not all of the source is open. Also, it would be very much illegal. The iPhone's OSX is however written for ARM, but again, no source code, and I don't think it's possible to virtualize it either.

    Sell SD cards pre-loaded for Pandora?

    If it's going to be a large 16/32G card, filled to the top with samples, distributed commercially, that's another matter altogether. You should have mentioned all that in the first post. I can see myself buying this.

    Release Windows CE on Pandora?

    What about bare-metal virtualization? Any programs that do that on ARM?

    Will Linux Ubuntu be preloaded?

    Looks good from what I read about it, but I have no experience with it so can't comment.

    Will Linux Ubuntu be preloaded?

    We need it to be lightweight. Look at the vid of it running Xubuntu. Note the results of "free" when just the desktop and terminal had been loaded ... 10 MB ram free! Unacceptable. Xfce is a bit heavy. If you absolutely must run a *buntu, I'd recommend the unofficial fluxbuntu fork. Me...

    Re: WPA As it's linux, can't you just use wpasupplicant regardless of what the driver is?
