Just a quick post - below is a video i have captured to show how it works under my EeePC 901. It is just a minute long, including booting up (about 10-15 seconds) and starting Firefox (about 10 sec?).

a couple of weeks ago Xandros released the news that they are also into an "instant on" OS for netbooks. So i signed up for the beta, and a few days after the announced release date (well, i actually forgot about the sign up too :P) i got a mail to invite me to download it. It is actually available for everyone at download.com or tucows...

recently it got harder to resist... the upcoming Ubuntu 7.10 GustyGutsy Gibbon is just sexier than i can imagine... now it is

i think people who follow and keep track on the nokia Internet Tablet development have already got used to the Hildonized tablet desktop. It is something that you and i will see on Linux Mobile platform too (ubuntu Mobile i think). But at the same time, there are actually work to get your common (or favourite?) desktop environment on the tablet...

This page will be the general collections of my Linux how-tos. Once some contents can form its own category, then i will split it :) else you should find everything here :)

update 1.10.2008:
if you wish to do this right. follow the instruction here instead - it explained how one can do it with the latest diablo os2008 on a N800. certainly more updated than mine, though it is almost the same.

So here you will find a summary of what i gather from the wiki and forums to achieve what i need.

having my holidays now, i think i better use my time wisely besides playing kdice on and off :) so today i took some time and decided to browse some drupal modules to know them better. reason? to understand the power of drupal and to be able to use them when needed.

some modules that catched my attention are as follows:

1. DHtml_menu

2. Category

moving to opensync brought me some hope in getting Series 60 phones to sync with linux desktops. It was pretty hard to find working solution to sync nokia phones (was having a Nokia 6260) and i have always thought it is impossible to do so, until i found this thread in ubuntuforums.org. It is somehow mentioned that the E series can be sync'ed using opensync. This got me pretty curious :)

when i say tablet, i mean the Nokia 770. :)

please come back soon for a brief (p)review on the wonderful Canola running on maemo platform. It is scheduled to be released on 29th November 2006. Please be patient :)

today reading from the nokia 770 tableteer's feeds, and realised that an update for the IT OS 2006 was released on 3th November. being me, the next thing is to grab the update image and install :) so far it took me around 20 minutes to get things up and my network configured. for those who wants the link, here is the news release, and you can go download from the image page. If you need info on how to flash your Nokia 770, read this.
