| imbrandon | AMD's low-cost PIC boots Edubuntu | 07:18 |
| imbrandon | ^ | 07:18 |
| imbrandon | hot off the presses, i think thats a major story for edubuntu and should be showcased | 07:18 |
| imbrandon | imho | 07:18 |
| imbrandon | soo you gonna write it up nixternal ? | 07:20 |
| nixternal | im just reading through it making sure it isn't a hoax, since its origin hasn't been translated | 07:20 |
| nixternal | i can't believe it took someone 2 years to hack that thing though ;) | 07:20 |
| nixternal | it took people 1 day to load linux on a xbox ;) | 07:21 |
| imbrandon | its not a hack, its the second gen bios | 07:21 |
| nixternal | alrighty..im posting this...it looks cool as all hell as well | 07:21 |
| imbrandon | its "designed" for it now | 07:21 |
| imbrandon | its not a hack, its the second gen bios | 07:21 |

| nixternal | im tyring to type this and the konvo osd pops up every 5 seconds | 07:29 |
| nixternal | Your PIC; Edubuntu or Windows? | 07:30 |
| nixternal | how is that for a title? | 07:30 |
| imbrandon | lol | 07:32 |
| imbrandon | nixternal, yea that seems fine | 07:33 |
| imbrandon | nixternal, does this fire the osd ? | 07:33 |
| imbrandon | nixternal, every time ? | 07:33 |
| nixternal | grrr | 07:33 |
| imbrandon | ;) | 07:33 |
| nixternal | not when the winder is active ;) | 07:33 |
| nixternal | im sick of him asking me about you as well | 07:34 |
| nixternal | speak to the dude already ;) | 07:34 |
| imbrandon | bah, i got tired of his clingly ness | 07:34 |
| imbrandon | i've successfully ignored him for 2 weeks | 07:34 |
| imbrandon | and plan to keep it up | 07:34 |
| nixternal | oh..believe you me, i know what you freakin' mean | 07:34 |
| imbrandon | i tried to hint, i tried to nicely tell him, then i finly jsut told him flat out | 07:35 |
| imbrandon | and put him on /ignore | 07:35 |
| nixternal | lol | 07:36 |
| nixternal | he is lonely | 07:36 |
| nixternal | don't be mean to him | 07:36 |
| nixternal | he needs somebody to lean on | 07:36 |
| nixternal | he just might have problem | 07:36 |
| nixternal | that you'd understand | 07:36 |
| imbrandon | i'm not mean, i just dont have the time and i told him that many times | 07:36 |
| nixternal | we all need somebody | 07:36 |
| nixternal | to lean on | 07:37 |
| imbrandon | shush | 07:37 |
| nixternal | hahahah | 07:37 |
| nixternal | i started singing it..so i thought you all would enjoy it ;) | 07:37 |
| imbrandon | i'll format your boxen and make you run gentoo forever | 07:37 |
| nixternal | gentoo ftw | 07:37 |
| nixternal | im a ricer at heart | 07:37 |
| nixternal | i think i have come to realise that i can't write worth a crap | 07:38 |
| imbrandon | you might have robitaille poke that story after you finish | 07:38 |
| imbrandon | he always has nice touches | 07:38 |
| nixternal | ya, with this one he just might rm -rf it | 07:38 |
| === robitaille cannot write worth crap either :) | ||
| imbrandon | haha | 07:38 |
| imbrandon | heya robitaille | 07:38 |
| nixternal | i dont' know what happened...my brain just dropped into a diaper | 07:38 |
| imbrandon | i pointed nix to .... | 07:39 |
| imbrandon | [00:18] <imbrandon> http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6147197554.html | 07:39 |
| imbrandon | [00:18] <imbrandon> AMD's low-cost PIC boots Edubuntu | 07:39 |
| nixternal | i seriously can't find much interesting to say | 07:39 |
| imbrandon | i thnk it will be nice for the fridge, its hot off the press at digg | 07:39 |
| nixternal | i summed up that page in 2 sentences | 07:39 |
| nixternal | i will link to the stats though | 07:39 |
| nixternal | so it might not be a huge post | 07:39 |
| nixternal | as the buggers already loaded up slax first ;( | 07:40 |
| nixternal | that is just as big for OLPC as well, as it seems it was their image of Edubuntu they loaded..however i would'nt know the difference if you slapped me with it | 07:40 |
| robitaille | not the most exciting article. Yes it nice...but not much to say beside it works | 07:40 |
| nixternal | Yes PIC, as in Personal Internet Computer. These things popped up a few years back by AMD running a stripped down version of Windows CE. Well, it seems that after 2 years there is a second-generation BIOS that the Computer and Peripheral Testing Laboratory, in the Thailand Science Park, near Bangkok University, has successfully booted Edubuntu on one. | 07:41 |
| nixternal | and that isn't correct..it needs to say "an OLPC image of Edubuntu" | 07:41 |
| nixternal | hrmm..and it needs to be "Communicator" not "computer" | 07:42 |
| nixternal | <!-- Article Awaiting in Queue --> | 07:52 |
| robitaille | 2nd generation BIOS? | 08:00 |
| robitaille | or 2nd generation PIC instead? | 08:00 |
| nixternal | i read 2nd gen bios | 08:02 |
| nixternal | but, a 2nd gen bios would make it a 2nd gen pic as well ;) | 08:03 |
| nixternal | weird seeing bios and pic used together..im used to using a pic to program a bios/rom | 08:03 |
| robitaille | bottom line: there was a new version of the PIC, and it happens to be less Windows CE-centric. At least thats my take on the article | 08:04 |
| robitaille | on linuxdevices.com | 08:04 |
| nixternal | well..it still hsips with winCE..they just hacked the bios it seems | 08:05 |
| nixternal | ships* | 08:05 |
| robitaille | I have done a minor change to the sentence that used to mention BIOS. what to do you think? Other than that, I think its ready to be published | 08:09 |
| nixternal | good to go...let her rip | 08:09 |
| robitaille | its out. Thanks for writing this | 08:12 |
| nixternal | heh, no prob | 08:12 |
