Full X11-Based Distro For PDAs
omin0us writes "over at http://cacko.zaurususergroup.com, we are working on a Full X11 based Linux distro for the Sharp Zaurus SL-c7x0/860 series of PDAs. The screen has a usable full VGA resolution of 640x480 and the distro uses Openbox/ROX Desktop as its Native WM. But others such as Fluxbox, Afterstep, and XFCE have been compiled for it and run nicely. You will also find a WIDE variety of compiled apps in the Feed on the Cacko website such as a native GCC Compiler, XMMS, Mplayer, prboom, Gimp, Gkrellm, Abiword and numerous others. Many different screenshots of it in action may be found here. This is truly bringing desktop linux to the PDA. Also, another project that has branched from Cacko Linux is Gentoo for Zaurus. This project, at the moment is based on the Cacko X11 environment, but will eventually become a full Gentoo environment. "It can emerge packages, sync, or create Gentoo packages using the -B switch in emerge." This should be an interesting project to watch."

West Des Moines, January 26, 2004 - They came to town, tried to get your vote and then left for New Hampshire.
But one presidential candidate may have left a big bill for a small West Des Moines deli. The campaigns ate, drank and slept at dozens of places across town. For the most part they paid their bills.
This is how it's supposed to work inside the Brown Bag Deli. Owner Scott Hoffman makes you a turkey sandwich and then you pay for it.
Scott will tell you deliveries are a little different, especially one back on the 16th of this month. That was a big order for this small business of four employees. 200 brown bag specials...with turkey, roast beef, ham and veggie sandwiches. The total...$963.01.
As he headed out that day, Scott remembered this customer has paid its bills late a couple times before. So he promised delivery this time with one condition, "c.o.d."
He showed up at the customer's downtown office just in time for lunch. The Dean headquarters was utter chaos. But he couldn't find anyone who'd pay him. They said try the other building next door. Same answer next door, try the other building. Scott went back and forth for 20 minutes. Nobody would pay.
He just assumed they would pay in good faith. After all, Dick Gephardt's campaign paid its lunch bills on time. And Howard Dean has thousands of followers in Iowa. Can't one of them give Scott his money?
We tried all day to reach Howard Dean's people-- no comment from them yet. By the way, Scott Hoffman says he considered himself a possible Dean supporter before the incident. He's since changed his mind.
We're checking unpaid debts from other campaigns and haven't found any yet.

Slashdotters,
Just out of curiosity, how is what I just posted a troll?
I looked up the definition of it on wikipedia and found this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot_trolling_
The above post isn't profane. It's not a cut and paste job from anywhere else. I wrote it originally for this article.
Yes, I have a slashdot subscription, so I wrote this up before the article was posted... I'm not asking sarcastically guys... But how is this trolling? I'd like to know, so that if the above post really is a troll, that I don't do it again.
Thanks.
geek chicks hanging out around a geek male, um is tere something wrong with that statement. I thought geek chicks were really guys pretended to be girls.
So the girls look down at Geek #2 and in a chorous say, "Who you going to please with that?" At which, Geek #2 replies, "Myself."
No, but this is slahdot where moderators run wild. This very post will probably be modded down under, but that's just the way it is. Will they stop at nothing!?
Note to self: get smarter troll to guard door.
It would be nice if someone compiled SuxPanel[1] for the Z, too... I haven't tested it on small displays, so if you try it, please contact me (if you can provide me binary packages I'd like to receive them, too!).

If I were to change my signature, I'd never be able to get those Unicode characters in again. No dice.
And I never said you were a bad programmer. Your PHP is stronger than mine, that's for sure. But I just wonder why someone would make a Friendster clone (and, to top it off, name it "Slashster" for some reason). You join the elite ranks of Blurty and UJournal -- second on the scene.
I'm sorry, I just need to say it again. "Slashster".
8==D( * )sexxxualasspussy, who has posted twice within the last 24 hours
Actually, the reason I called it slashster was because chainster the domain was taken. There were quite a few other ones I was thinking of, "baster(d)", etc... Eh, I don't know...
I know friendster's been done. The thing is that I haven't done it yet. I kind of wanted to do something to mature my skill as a programmer...
You're right though. I've been pushing a little too hard and I think I'll slow down for a while. It's just a little hard to stress test with one active member on the page.
I'm thinking I'll keep the sig, but I won't post for a bit... Or at least if I do post, I won't be FP or anything like that. At least not for a while.
1) You are a fat nerd.
2) You stink.
3) Get a life you fat stinky nerd.
4) Get a girlfriend, its more fun than playing crappy games on a crappy OS for losers.
5) You are a loser and will die alone.
6) You will never have sex.
Listen, Gamache, if you don't shut the fuck up I'm going to personally come down to your halls of residence and beat the living shit out of you, okay? You lame-ass cock-twat.
Don't worry about it. The guy is a fucking prick. It's not like his stupid website is good either. He's just jealous.
