i love the smell of iPod Linux in the morning... smells like... victory.

while trying to install linux on an iPod, I found this useful blog. With the brief instructions:
  1. mkdir ipodlinux
  2. cd ipodlinux
  3. wget http://de.dataghost.com/ipl/dg-installer/dg-linux-installer-20070311.tar.bz2
  4. tar -jxf dg-linux-installer-20070311.tar.bz2
  5. sudo ./installer.sh

Alas... gOS didn't work on the new machine :(

Alas... gOS didn't work on the new machine. So last night I did a bit of looking around and found TinyME... a stripped down version of linux. It doesn't run KDE but it has a very simple UI. That's okay because we just want to get the machine functioning (and help it kick the Microsoft). If all else fails, we can put FreeDOS or BasicLINUX on the machine and see just what we can accomplish!

Shoniece & Jasmine Go to Work!

So today, one of our school's administrative assistants donated an HP Pavilion 4535 and a Sony Model CPD-100ES CRT. Shoniece & Jasmine decided they'd put a new OS (gOS of Course!) on it and try to get the thing working at top-speed and in tip-top shape.
