Openmoko is a nice alternative though. Hi Deepan, I can't possibly understand why you'd want to run Linux on an iPhone. The reason why one buys an iPhone is for the UI, not the device; there's better options out there if you're wanting to run Linux (no removable storage, for one). Even on Windows Mobile devices that have supported Linux for a very long time, and on the tiny few that actually have phone functionality, I'm not aware of any decent, well implemented open source dialer/phone suites. i.e. say goodbye to actually using it as an actual phone! If you want an open source, Linux based phone, the Openmoko or Android projects, in theory, should be eventuating into commercial products shortly.

Hello, I've just sold another lost soul to try to install Ubuntu on their (currently failing) Windows Vista laptop.

I also think I remember seeing something similar for other distro's but I can't find it now. Does anyone know of such a thing? I'm NOT refering to wubi, which installs Linux on top of the Windows partition. I'm looking for a way to setup dual-boot (shrink windows, install linux next to it), just like goodbye-microsoft does only for Ubuntu.

[SLUG] Perl Question
Can anyone with greater knowledge than myself explain this regex
behaviour.
This code segment works as intended:
if ( $_ =~ m/^Box(\d) ([A-Z]+(\. | ?)[A-Z]* ?[A-Z]*).*?(\d).*?(\d\d\.\d
\d).*?(\d*\.\d\d)L/) {
$box = $1;
$name = $2;
$place = $4;
$time = $5;
$margin = $6;
$name =~ s/\.//;
}
However if the $name substitution is inserted above $place like so it
fails to allocate values to $place, $time and $margin.
if ( $_ =~ m/^Box(\d) ([A-Z]+(\. | ?)[A-Z]* ?[A-Z]*).*?(\d).*?(\d\d\.\d
\d).*?(\d*\.\d\d)L/) {
$box = $1;
$name = $2;
$name =~ s/\.//;
$place = $4;
$time = $5;
$margin = $6;
}
Undoubtedly something simple that a self taught dummy has failed to
grasp.

Peter.

I suspect that the added line resets the back-references (the
$1..$6). Try moving it under the $margin assignment (i.e. until
after you are done with the back-references).

Hi Peter,
I'm not too sure about this, but I believe when you do $name =~, you're
effectively starting a new regular expression which means it clears $1, $2,
$3, $4, etc (unless you use brackets inside the new regular expression).
Maybe someone else can explain it better than me? :-)
HTH!

correcto
However if the $name substitution is inserted above $place like so it

$place = $4;

}
incorrecto and hard to maintain
You've also introduced a very subtle bug that I could not, at first
glance, see. The $name substitution resets $1 ... $6.
Please write maintainable code that is easy to understand.
I wouldn't want to be given the second code example buried amongst
1000+ lines of perl and then asked to fix the obscure bug.
