I hope your mother isn't

I await the 7th with slight anticipation, and some trepidation as I feel it could be a letdown. I hope for a faster processor (to allow UAE to run smoother) and a bigger screen. More RAM would be good, but hey, give me the bigger screen and I'll be ordering

cresho, now you are the man, the star that inspire us in the right path: big $$ on computer stuff which we don't care if it gets dirty after linux hacking all night long; and always looking for the next toy; you know the adaggio, right: what's the diference between a kid and a man: the price of his toys !

Nice pictures !

Cresho, that's an incredible setup you 've got there! Congrats! :-)

I especially like the Star Trek TOS wallpaper (prolly from The Wrath of Khan?)

look at this little beauty

I want my new Zaurus to have bigger screen/resolution, VGA out, USB high speed and firewire, built-in wifi and bluetooth, camera and mic, more RAM, bigger disk, faster CPU, biometrics and java card enabled

Cresho · « **Reply #51 on:** March 03, 2006, 04:35:30 am »

my monitor is 32 inches- Im currently in between debian, ubuntu, kubuntu, mandriva and trying to figure out what to try next. So yes its a dual boot.

Ubuntu kubuntu makes install very easy and also making the os dual boot is flawless. I used partition magic in windows to partition ntfs. ubuntu to configure linux partitions on the drive.

I have 1 terabit or byte of disk space on my pc.

The reason i have kubuntu ..well its kubuntu right now is because im trying to install enlightenment e17. I did the configuration make install and all that but i am missing libs. kubuntu makes it a bit hard to download the files or maybee im missing something. also, having a hardtime using widescreen resolution. Since i have an old 6800gt graphics card, i thought that would work just fine out of the box but now i really need to dig up some drivers for it.

I have kubuntu on one of the my older machines. It's a good distribution for those most comfortable in the windows world (that's not a flame but a compliment to introduce people to linux). Personally my fan favourite is gentoo. It's easier to use than freebsd's port system and more flexible than the debian based distributions. Slackware is my other favourite.

zmiq2 · « **Reply #53 on:** March 03, 2006, 09:42:33 am »

Uhmm... I'm really thinking about moving from gentoo: too many compilation times, and, why is it that still today firefox 1.5 is classified as experimental?

I took a look at ubuntu and it seemed very nice to me

bluedevils · « **Reply #54 on:** March 03, 2006, 10:34:54 am »

Yes, gentoo runs great on many platforms, but compiling for gentoo is not really for slower machines.

I think they still believe firefox is unstable compared to 1.0.7. I saw a thread (gentoo.org) where people were complaining about 1.5.

Back on subject: I find it intersting that sharp's Z announcement is the same day the UMPC is supposed to be unveiled...If it wasn't for the 3200 model number.

Is why firefox is still at 1.0.7. But I've been using 1.5 for a while on all three of my Gentoo boxes and have had no problem.

I recommend using Gentoo because of Portage. I'm running e17 on all of my Gentoo boxes and the install was a breeze. Also updating the e17 packages was too easy. Just read http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_emerge_e17

bluedevils · « **Reply #56 on:** March 03, 2006, 02:15:37 pm »

yep that's the thread I saw. I have been using 1.5 on one of my gentoo boxes without problem either.

on subject: Would it be good if the Z turns into a UMPC?

If the Z is around long-term I believe it will have to evolve into a UMPC in order to compete. As UMPCs come on the market and the price starts to drop it will be hard not to go for a handheld running a desktop OS vs an embedded OS. I know I would love to use the exact same applications in both environments.

Bluedevils, this is exactly the thought I had in mind when I raised a similar question in this thread:
[a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17354&hl=]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17354&hl=[/url]

bluedevils · « **Reply #58 on:** March 03, 2006, 03:21:09 pm »

yep and my response in that thread is still the same

The Z is stand out and special. With the exception of the 6000, their designs are unique to sharp.

I think it should evolve to something more pocketable and probably with voice capabilities. Sharp could make UMPCs, but it wouldn't be a zaurus.

Gosh. I sound elitist.....

Cresho · « **Reply #59 on:** March 03, 2006, 06:43:42 pm »

Sorry guys i have'nt been posting but i managed to get nvidia drivers working on my pc from abovce, unreal tournament 2004 running, and now am going to enable e17 on kubuntu.

besides that, i was wondering if anybody has read up on any new news of the zaurus that is supposedly going to be coming out.

I am thrilled in having kubuntu running and so easy to use and more stable than mandriva. Now if i can only find out how to sync the zaurus to my kubuntu.

which one is best for syncing with linux desktop?

pdaxrom?
openzaurus?
sharprom?
cacko?

oops! I hijacked the thread.

anyway, any new news for the c-3200?
