Re: [luau] compact flash

I use CF and SD cards on a Linux based PDA (Sharp Zaurus). The CF cards are formated as FAT for installing upgraded kernels and software packages, and for storing large files. The SD cards are formated as EXT2 in order to mantain links, and are used for installing software to. I have heard

Any work to be done at McKinley (hardware/software installs)? Should we show up early to help out? Once a month, The Hawaii Open Source Education Foundation has an open meeting to discuss our objectives. Given the numerous Linux tasks underway at the McKinley Community School for Adults,

[luau] the end user price for lousy copy protection schemes

I have seen numbers thrown around of how much buggy software costs end users. But one number I have never seen is how much copyright protection schemes costs end users? For example, you legally buy some commercial software package and the key number is ether lost, stolen, or is burned on a

Another option is to hand out the Demo Linux CD. Just boot off the CD and you get a full linux OS to play with!;-) http://www.pellicosystems.com/devolinux/zdevolinux/ okay, that's probably the wrong way to go about getting press for HOSEF. my bad, scratch it. i guess we wouldn't want

Re: [luau] Sam's Club PC

I did a search for 'computer linux' at the Sams Club site. Found these software specs for a $280 computer. I would think it's a full blown Linux installation. It includes OpenOffice, Mozilla, GIMP, and several other Linux apps. Doesn't seem like a bad deal. No mention of Lindows or being

I'm unfamiliar about the level of education you are refering to (K-12 or college/university). Here is some info on an opensource Geographic Information System software package. One science related opensource package I've been messing with is GRASS GIS (http://grass.baylor.edu/). Comercial

Re: [luau] HOSEF logo suggestions

I like the idea of Tux with the mortar. I'm not for the diploma thing since that entails 'certification'. We are about education, leave the certification thing to M$. The options of aloha shirt or a branded/tatooed serif 'H' on the chest of Tux would be cool. All contained inside a circle

[luau] HOSEF outreach

I'm finding it would be useful to have some broshures with general information about HOSEF, and some business cards with contact person information and the HOSEF url. One thing we should do before making broshures or business cards would be to finalize the logo and HOSEF mission statement. I

Specifically regarding embedded Linux systems, we could get together and discuss it, but given a target audience of public schools, I am very unclear how such a technology can be effectively applied to old hardware. I put forth the idea of embedded linux on old computers as a random

I was thinking of approaching the Makiki District Park personnel about the possibility of offering a hardware/linux installation course at their facilities. Would HOSEF play into something like that? The plan would be to set up a computer lab in one of their rooms for use by the community.

[luau] learning the hardware end

Aloha! I'm new to Linux and this list, so I thought I'd post some ideas and see how they fit into the current efforts made by members, particularly the HOSEF initiative. For some time I have thought that it would be great for schools, or a non-profit organization, to aquire donated PCs,
