A positive post about 3.5.1
« on: October 26, 2004, 05:06:06 pm »
I may not be the most objective source, since I've been using *NIX as my primary os for a long time, but I haven't had alot of problems with 3.5.1 yet. I did steer clear of opie-packagemanager.  I did the following, found on this board I believe...

Code: [Select]
ipkg remove opie-packagemanager
ipkg install opie-aqpkg

Networking worked great after install, and hostap finally has monitoring extensions. YAY! It didn't lock up after multiple cf insert/removes like 3.2 had done to me. It looks nice, I like the theme. That won't last, of course, but it is a first. All in all, for a first flash of an OZ release, this has gone rather smooth.

Hear Hear.

3.5.1 is very good. Most of the issues were specific and local.

I agree... I've been running 3.5.1 on my SL5500 since it came out and haven't had much trouble at all.  I use Ko/PI & Ka/PI all day long, do some web browsing with konqueror, and even use didiwiki to store some notes.  Very nice.

I really like how OZ/OE is progressing.  I can't wait to see what happens once the development/build process has a chance to "settle" a little bit. . .

I especially like the idea of the merging with OE, because if I understand it correctly, this now means that teams working on all linux PDA platforms are contributing code which is useful to us, not just the OZ team anymore.

Exactly. We have even more non-OZ people working on OE now than OZ people

(dreaming) Now if the pdaXrom folks would consider working on GPE (hence OE), since they have the same goals... (/dreaming)
