    Gentoo Linux - Taking it On!

    What OS doesn't support SD cards with multiple partitions? I'm quite sure both Windows and Linux support it.

    Gentoo Linux - Taking it On!

    cfdisk /dev/sdx *add a normal linux partition* *add a swap partition* *write partition table* Now you have an SD card with a swap partition, no need for crappy swap files.

    Command Line?

    No real Linux system (or any Unix-like) can exist without a terminal IMO. I don't think the Pandora would be so popular if it wasn't as open as it is and the devs imposed some dumb software that didn't allow terminals.

    Apt Repositories For Pandora

    I'm quite sure it would be possible to install DPKG (and apt) even on non-Debian based distributions.

    Q About 2 Deviced In Usb

    You can always convert from S-Video to VGA with an adapter.

    Gentoo Linux - Taking it On!

    Nice progress! Having all the efforts centralized will make things easier for everyone.

    Q About 2 Deviced In Usb

    Mouses and keyboards probably won't draw all of the USB port's power and even if they do, there are externally powered hubs available.

    What Is The Version Of The Omap3 Engineering Sample?

    The Pandora design is done, they're not changing the current specs.

    The Good Shopping Guide

    I'm definitely gonna stick with my 8GB class 4 Sandisk SDHC microSD (with an SD adapter) for now, at least until the exchange rates drop (stupid crisis...) or some really good deals for 16GB cards pop up.

    Will High scores be saved permanently using MAME emulator ?

    Erm, I bet there would simply be too many frauds if that were done unless some overcomplicated (and still hackeable) verification scheme was made.

    Scale - A Pandora shell

    I found, with a quick search, a libSDL package patched for OpenGL ES (made for the Maemo, specifically). There's also GLUT patched for OpenGL ES. Those are apparently quickly patched versions but should be enough to test Scale (the dude also talks about the SDL needing full OpenGL library to...

    Gentoo Linux - Taking it On!

    Well, once the first Pandoras arrive, some simple hdparm commands will tell whether using the internal NAND is worth the hassle. Or maybe someone can ask a dev with a dev board to test the speed for us (if they have the time)?

    Release PCB See

    Hooray! Now they just need to make the case and the screen and it'll be finished. Also, I wonder what will be the official keyboard layout.

    Flight Mode?

    The reason why cell phones aren't allowed inside planes are the crappy cell phone systems we have in place which would simply freak out with mobile phones moving almost at the speed of sound.

    Release Video Questions

    A USB TV card with proper open source Linux drivers could be used, but those drivers might require some porting.

    Official ORKUT Pandora community (Pandora - OpenPandora)

    PoisonedV, seriously, you're talking about the US, that dude is talking about brazilians. In Brazil, people have been using Google's Orkut for a long time and refuse to switch to anything newer/better. I really got tired of wasting my time with that kind of site and deleted my orkut acc a long...

    Openpandora Blog Update

    Pfft, all normal keyboards nowadays work with rubber membranes. Mechanical keyboards are arguably better but much more expensive (and bigger). It wouldn't be really feasible to make the Pandora's keyboard a mini-Model M.

    Scale - A Pandora shell

    The ARM Cortex should be more efficient than a standard x86 processor. As long as you're writing your code in decent C/C++, it should work without problems.

    Alarm clock?

    Should be good enough, with the pwnful battery the Panda has, suspend should give us hundreds of hours.

    What Information Will Be Available From The Battery Chip, If There Is

    As the battery provides current charge and total charge, it's possible to calculate the current consumption even if it's not provided, although the results will be a little inaccurate.
