[opensuse-project] Can we get on this
Guys, Please read the following like it is increable, only thing is I wish we could replace ubuntu with openSUSE. Since I am not a programmer, what would it take to put openSUSE on this? What I think would be great is we could do like the OLPC, maybe. Change $50 for one, then a person get ones, and child gets the other. Just a thought.

128Mb RAM is too little I suspect. I don't think YaST will run in less than 196M. Anyway, decent secondhand PCs with comparable performance are available on ebay for about USD25, maybe a little more. :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

As it ships pre-installed I doubt we need a full fledged yast around this to get an installer running. It's rather 'fixed' hardware, so a simple dd before shipping the sticks might very well be worth it. I'd think it might be a very interesting marketing for our project: showing that we ARE capable of doing such things, not only Canonical. Anybody has contact to David Breben? Somebody knows him from conventions or even more privately? Time to get this moving!

Good point. The question (perhaps) is, how do those ARMs perform? I have some 5-6 year old laptops with 1.5GHz Celerons and 512Mb RAM - with 10.x, they were still a very capable work platform, but with 11.4, they're much too slow. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

What about if we install 11.1 or 11.4 with Enlightement? we could try and experiment on it, I have some people that would like to try it and see if it's possible, I will send an e-mail to see if I can buy one or two so that we can experiment on that. If something like that is possible we could organize a hackfest inside the oSC, what do you think about that?

Maybe you could try with http://sites.google.com/site/petitelinux/download wich is based on openSUSE 11.4 with Enlightenment. Petite Linux is an openSUSE build, created using susestudio.com, featuring the Enlightenment (e17) Desktop Environment Features: Fits on a (live) cd, just insert the cd, reboot, try it out No need for choices, it works as-is No clutter, just functionality

Unfortunately they only seem to provide x86 builds and this gadget is ARM based. (in fact, I see only 686 which rules out many older PCs too). Does SuSE studio support ARM - in which case may a port is a possibility? -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

afaik their isn´t any support of ARM.

There's not even enough support for ARM in openSUSE AFAIR. So, before getting Studio support, let's get a real openSUSE distribution for ARM up working on what we already have. Also, AFAIK for ARM you need a custom kernel for basically each motherboard and cannot make an univeral kernel or image that will work on all systems. So, we would really need to target specific devices...

[OT] Very old PCs - older than Pentium Pro. I still have a K6-2 somewhere, but it's hardly relevant hardware anymore.
