Hello, the TuxMobil News digest for March 2004[1] has good news for Linux PDA, mobile phone and laptop users. Here is an extract of the most important or most interesting messages. Werner Heuser |=| A new issue (0.17)[2] of PocketWorkStation for Linux PDAs has been released. Want to run a full Debian GNU/Linux operating environment on your Linux PDA? Want to switch between Qtopia and X11 whenever you like without rebooting or needing to stop any of your X11 applications? Give Pocketworkstation a try. Runs completely out of a single directory (a 256MB SD card is ideal), no re-flashing or modification of the existing operating system is required. |=| Synaptics touchpad driver (0.13)[3] and laptop_mode for Kernel 2.6.5[4] are now available. The laptop_mode patch extends the battery life of your laptop. |=| Mobile Adhoc Networks under Linux are on the go.
