Linux越來越走向主流

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

什么是linux的精神?----与王垠商榷
http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?t=39478

我的一點看法:
這篇文章將linux和後現代電影和古典音樂并列,強調linux的小眾性。我最初用mandrake的時候,其中一個原因就是想和別人不一樣。

但是現在情況已經不同了。現在linux已經得到越來越廣泛的應用,很多嵌入式設備(mobile phones, pmp, mp3, etc)、某些品牌pc的修复系統都可以看到linux的影子。

Linux已經不在是供小眾欣賞、把玩的東西了,而是越來越走向主流。

mac on linux

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

run Mac OS X 10.4 (tiger) on Debian etch (kernel 2.6.1Cool using mol (ppc).

It works almost out of box!

First, install mol-modules-2.6.18-3-powerpc
Then add unstable to your sources.list, install mol and mol-drivers-macosx.

For configuration, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacOnLinuxHowto
(It'e much better than the out-of-data user guide on maconlinux.org)

Problems remaining:
1, The scroll ball of my logitech mouse doesn't work
2, The bluetooth is unavailable
3, Can't use keyboard to tune volumes and lightness
4, Can't connect to Internet. (Solved, see
http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/weblog_entry.php?e=2498)

dhcp的辦法不行。ping linux是可以的,但是internet連不上,不管是用域名還是直接用ip都不行。

使用手動的方法(without dhcp)
成功!

Debian's whitelist mailing list

Monday, January 29th, 2007

This is a special pseudo-mailing list to which people can subscribe to prove they are not spammers.

This allows one to avoid the restrictions imposed on non-subscriber posts to other mailing lists, in particular the mailing lists that allow posts only from subscribers.

OpenEZX

Monday, January 29th, 2007

from http://open-ezx.org/about.html

Why OpenEZX?

Motorola has developed these incredibly cool Linux-based mobile phones (which they internally seem to be calling EZX Platform). This is really great, since the Motorola EZX phones are the first series of Linux based phones that are available on a large scale.

However, Motorola have "locked down" the phone. They don't want their users to make use of Linux, but rather only use the J2ME API's for their own applications. They don't publish any SDK for development of native Linux applications Sad

But who wants to develop bloated Java code, if the phone is a full-fledged Linux device?

Also, like many vendors, Motorola (and their upstream partner MontaVista) have enhanced the Linux kernel significantly with lots of hardware support and other bits and features. One user of the motorolafans.com community has managed to obtain the kernel source code, which is good. However, none of those features (written against kernel 2.4.20) have ever been submitted mainline, or even only to the ARM Linux project Sad
Goals of OpenEZX

The main goals are:

*

Collect and publish information related to the Motorola EZX Phone hard- and software.
*

Port all drivers from the Motorola 2.4.20 tree into a recent 2.6.x kernel. Once they're working fine, submit all of them to the mainline tree.
*

Provide a source tree that allows for running a 100% Free Software firmware. Initially this will "just" be a 100% free Linux Kernel, userspace may follow later on.

linux手机

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

DoNews上看到的新闻“摩托罗拉、NEC、松下、三星、NTT DoCoMo以及沃达丰等表示要开发基于LINUX平台的手机产品。”

现在用着moto的e2, 我用的壁纸是那张著名的"linux inside",铃声则是rms的"the song of free software"。呵呵。

可惜moto的linux系统不是开源的。
