Linux4Palm

Do you have a Palm?

Are you worried about the future of PalmOS?

Well, your problems are over! Just install Linux on your Palm!!

The guys at Hack&Dev have a very nice project, Linux4Palm. And it works!!! I now run Linux on my T5!
Here you can download the complete package. It includes a boot loader (cocoboot), kernel and filesystem images with a windows manager called Opie.

Very cool.

Next step is trying to load OpenMoko.

Stay tuned!

OpenMoko

An Anonymous Coward (well, not really anonymous...) left here a comment about an Open Source project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system. It's called OpenMoko.

It looks promising on the paper, let's see how it turns out. I'm waiting for one!!



PS: Hey Anonymous Coward, I still have a birthday present for you, from 2006...

OLPC

It's been a long time since I blogged. Time is short...

Well, let's talk about laptops. More exactly, about the One Laptop Per Children project. If you don't know about it, go read the site.

I'll wait.




Finished reading? Let's continue...

The project is not about a laptop, but a complete learning environment. And it has a dedicated linux distro. Here is a way to run the OLPC in your computer right now. Just download the Vmware image and you are ready to go.

A note of warning: it is slow. Very slow! And a little useless, unless you like to play with Etch A Sketch...

Of course, as a geek, I'd like to have one of these babies... the hardware, not the software...

Will it be a contender to the Asus EEE?

PS: you can find more about the OLPC in this wiki.
