DAMN SMALL LINUX

I’ve been interested in Damn Small Linux for a while. The frugal intallation’s ability to load the entire OS into RAM is awesome. The ability to mount different add-on programs to the OS (ala OSX) and have a very up to date OS is another. It doesn leave a bit to be desired, but overall, it is a very good Linux for slower hardware. I’m currently running the standard HDD installation on the 866mhz P3 with 256megs or Ram. It is fast and reliable. I do have a few complaints though.

PC'S AND MORE PC'S

Two weeks ago, I picked up a “grab bag” of computer parts from a guy on Craig’s List.  It contained two PC’s and a box of miscellaneous stuff.  I also picked up a computer from  beside the dumpster on my way to work.  It appears to be a Pentium 3.  There was no hard drive in it, but it does have a DVD-Rom drive and a cdrw drive in it, so that’s a big plus, not to mention 384 megs of ram.

ADVENTURES WITH QEMU

I first saw Qemu again on the Elivecd development live cd, and I was certainly intregued.  I’ve been looking for an open source alternative to VMWare, and I think I’ve found a good one.  The version found in the Ubuntu repository left a lot to be desired.  After a bit of Googling, I found a walkthrough for compiling it from source here.  Surprisingly, the directions worked well with only a couple minor changes.

MY E17 DESKTOP

I’ll post some links later

Is e17 the killer app that Linux has been waiting for?

I WANT A WII

I haven’t been this excited about a video game system since the Super Nintendo. Not to mention, this will be the first video game system that I will buy new. With the exception of my family’s Original NES, every video game system that I have ever owned has been used.

MORE ON ICOM IC-F3S

I finally bought one a couple of weeks ago. I got it off ebay for less that $10, though S/H brought it up to nearly $20. I also had to pick up three extra pieces of hardware. First, I got the programming cable and software, also from Ebay. Secondly, I got an alkaline (AA) battery pack and a rubber duck antenna from American Communication Systems.
