At launch, the company stated the basic version of the Eee PC rival would run Linux, pack in 8GB of solid-state storage and 512MB of memory, and sport a €£199 price tag. Company officials stressed that that figure included VAT, the UK's 17.5 per cent sales tax.
Forbes has published an interview with LiMo Foundation executive director Morgan Gillis. The LiMo chief speaks out on Nokia's acquisition of Symbian, competition with Android, the fold-in of the Linux Phone Standards (LiPS) Forum, and a projected 10 new LiMo handsets to be announced this month.
Garmin has posted Linux source code for its Nuvi 8xx and Nuvi 5xxx-series GPS navigation devices. The Nuvi 8xx offers a 4.3-inch, 480x272 display, and appears to be based on a Marvell PXA-3xx processor, Gnome Mobile Linux, and GeoClue location technology.
You can’t really blame Adrian, though. Adrian is a relatively new Linux user – he comes from the world of Windows, where you double click on a SETUP.EXE icon and minutes later, you’ve got an application installed on your system.
If you install Sabayon, you should be sure to type as root:
equo remove --deep mono
This will get rid of all the mono/donnet trash you don't want on your computer. I did on my machine and it works great. I was surprised to learn sound-juicer is a mono program, but kaudiocreator is a better program anyway, though, admittedly, I do like the fact you play the CD in sound-juicer. You also lose tomboy, beagle, wine-doors, gnome-nettool, and not much else as far as I can see. On the other hand you get a lot of a space--somewhere near .5G. Sorry I didn't measure the space better, as I surprised to learn that mono took so much space. The bottom line is that it was worthwhile on my laptop to remove mono in terms of the tradeoff between space and functionality--even if there weren't good moral reasons to remove mono.
That gives Google far too much power over its rival... There are already many sites that refuse to work with Firefox or explicitly say Firefox isn't supported
