Donation for the Slackware for Pandora project + fund another user's unit.

[Linux-SWAT]

Many donations already arrived !


I added an indicator in the first post:





People who donated, but forgot to tell me the amount, please can you PM it to me ?


Thanks all.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I'm bumping this !


The amount for a 1GHz is almost reached.


This unit will definitely help me a lot for the development of my next project, and of course for the future Slackware releases..


Also, i'm a preorderer, that means completing this unit funds another first batcher's unit.


So please, if you have any amount of cash to give, check the procedure here:

Please excuse my ignorance but, what is "slackware?" How would it benefit my Pandy?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Slackware is a GNU/Linux operating system, like Zaxxon/Angstrom, Debian, Gentoo, etc.


I ported the 13.37 version to the Pandora at the beginning of the year, and i'm now finalizing the 14.0 release.


You unpack it on a SD card, you boot your Pandora on it, and you have a fully-featured PC with tons of software.

^ Beat me to it..


Also I just made a small donation.. I may do more once I get paid again later this month.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Thank you ! You're now in my README's donator fame ^^.

Nice!, Investment already paid off.

If you pay more, i'll give you the (http) address of a Pandora shop in Vermont ;^).

Hummmmm...


It doesn't screw up your flashed firmware?


I really get nervous about fooling with the firmware much.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

No, as it boots on the SD card, it doesn't touch the firmware on the NAND.

Feel free to add that shop name in VT vs my actual name, as I donated as well. I'll donate more once 14 is done & I'll buy you a beer at Mo!

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Yay that's a deal !!!


Many Thanks !

 

[ingoreis]

I sendet you this Morning 60 Euro as Thx for your big Help ^_^


With the old Donation from 40 Euro,have you now 100 Euro for your 1GHZ Pandora from me

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Whoa it's a double donation ! You're the first to do this, so


DOUBLE THANKS !!!


I think i'm a few KHz away from the 1GHz now .

 

[ingoreis]

You do so many for your Project,and that must to be honored


By the Way,i order the 1GHZ Pandora too ^_^

 

[MarioPandio]

How much more do you need Linux-Swat? I came into some cash today and will be upgrading to 1ghz rather than just sending my CC unit for repair and I should like to donate toward 1ghz Slackware goodness.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I don't know exactly as not everybody told me the donated amount, so i stopped the additions. Only ED knows.

 

[Kumaki]

OK, but is this more like a coder's tool? Is there anything here for someone who is strictly a gamer, like me? I mean, I couldn't code my way out of a paper bag.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

It's not coding-specific, it's a full Linux distribution.


I don't include games, but many .pnd runs on it.

I'm not having ingoreis being in the double-donation camp all alone, I'm in..
