    Gentoo Linux - Taking it On!

    Well, about package management, I believe it won't be hard to repackage apps in the PXML format (default distribution method according to devs) and make Portage packages. A semi-automated way should be possible. We should also keep in mind that we will have to copy the original kernel if we...

    Beyond S-video?

    The third option would be doing some nasty modding, hijacking the LCD output and then, possibly with some converting, you'd have perfect digital output.

    Kde4 On The Pandora

    You can't just go to TI and say: HEY, WE NEED THAT 256MB VERSION OF THE OMAP IN ONE WEEK!, waiting for mass production of such a version would've caused further delays. And a 256MB isn't coming any time soon as we don't want a split community. Besides, it would suck for us pre-orderers who gave...

    Pandora Keyboard Layout

    I totally agree, I think someone could at minimally pass by and tell us if/which keyboard layout has been chosen, why not at least spare 5min to answer us faithful pre-orderers.

    Kde4 On The Pandora

    Benjiro, a 256MB version of the OMAP wasn't available when the Panda was being designed.

    Apt Repositories For Pandora

    Can apt even handle two databases?

    Kde4 On The Pandora

    I think KDE and Gnome are both quite bloated (besides not liking the design philosophy of the latter) and nowadays I use XFCE on my Core 2 Quad box.

    Kde4 On The Pandora

    It'll run but will probably be too slow.

    What Is The Version Of The Omap3 Engineering Sample?

    It has been stated that the second memory controller is a chip select to which you could add an extra 128MB but the Panda's battery life would be reduced to half and it would be very expensive to do so.

    Sales PAYPAL - IMPORTANT - ALL ORDERS CANCELLED

    I'm quite sure there are plenty of people wanting your spot in the queue if you don't want the Pandora any more...

    Will Opengl Es 1.1 Apps For The Iphone Port Over Easily?

    GCC can compile Objective-C and OpenGL ES 1.1 will work fine. The iPhone libs can't be used, though.

    Apt Repositories For Pandora

    That's not really true. Lots of apps have ARM ports and most desktop apps might need some porting if they make some nasty assumptions, but porting them would be relatively easy. All the apps will need to be packaged for the Pandora, though, as the devs don't want to use a well-established...

    Will Pandora Support .rm (realmedia) Files?

    VLC plays almost anything and it's open source, so we can count on it.

    Dual Screens With Pandora?

    Well, there's always the DSP to help, but then someone would have to make a specific driver, I guess.

    Apt Repositories For Pandora

    Perhaps we should make a poll to see which way is more popular... I'm not so sure a majority that big as some people seem to think would vote for easy zips (if those people are even a majority at all). And if you guys decided to use a distro which I find rather stupid and even removed its most...

    Apt Repositories For Pandora

    I really find it regrettable that the dev team would choose the easy solution instead of the logical and efficient one. But then we're dealing with Free Software, and I'm certain that I'm not the only one who would be interested in making a Debian-based distribution so we can use apt. The first...

    Dosbox W/ Windows

    It wouldn't be a bit slow, it would be totally unusable. A full x86 emulator like Qemu would have to be used. Hardware-wise, if we had the source code, the Pandora would run anything up to windowze XP, but that's not the case and will never be, so just forget the idea.

    Apt Repositories For Pandora

    I think it's insane to make every package self contained. Packages that could as small as 200kb might take up 5MB because of this decision. Why the hell does the user need internet in order to for a package manager to do dependency checking? It's not so hard for a package to link to its...

    Number Of Bluetooth Devices Supported?

    I believe most bluetooth devices have a limit of 16 devices.

    Adding Tilt

    It'll only work with a hub or perhaps natively with a mini-USB converter on the USB OTG port.
