Re: [newbie] any PDA users out there?
- Original Message - From: Aidan Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Newbie List newbie@linux-mandrake.com Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 4:06 AM Subject: [newbie] any PDA users out there? Hi all, am considering purchasing a PDA, I've googled on the topic and I fast becoming confused with all the information out there - some of which is grossly outdated so I'm not sure what to trust. What I really need is a testimony from someone that has one... Does anyone on the list use a PDA? if so have you been able to install a distro such as familiar on it? Whether using a linux distro or its original OS, how well does it and the apps integrate with mandrake? (eg - PIM's) I feel comfortable with 'Palm' but would prefer to dual boot an iPaq if possible. (I believe there is flight management/recording software available for glider pilots on the iPaq so this would be a bonus). I see Mandrake includes Kpilot which looks to work with the Palm - is there anything similar for the iPaq? Sorry for asking so many questions - any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Aidan. Whilst not actually answering your question this http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums may be somewhere to start. It in fact deals with GPS systems but there are write ups on various models and your glider package may be mentioned. However most of these run Windows 2002/3 PPC I do not recall anyone using a Linux setup anuless it has been installed under another name. Good luck.

There are others on this list that are far more familiar with iptables and shorewall than I. Regards, Dan Gordon Yes shorewall is a good one. I appreciate Mandrake includes it. A little confusing at first, but once we read the tutorial, it's not that hard to setup. And Tom Eastep - the writer - is very active in the shorewall list. However, don't be offended by his sharp words though (especially when he knows we use mandrake) :) He's actually a very nice person, really :) His sharp words come because he's also a good writer on the documentation, so our problem regarding shorewall mostly has been covered in it. --
