[Blackpool] Blackpool Digest, Vol 33, Issue 1

[Les]

Hi everyone

Colin
If I can find my programming pack, then I will bring it along.
A Maemo internet tablet, is a Nokia 770 N800 or N810 internet tablet
that runs a special version of Debian Linux.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N800
I have used them for a couple of years, really great little tools that
provide hours of fun. (I use mine as a remote for the PC, using a tool
called VNC) MrsP currently uses it as a media player. If I remember I'll
bring it along.

I've already confirmed with Mike, I will be demonstrating unetbootin
this Saturday. Not sure if it will install Chrome OS on a USB stick,
unetbootin uses ISO images of cd's, where as the Chrome OS image is
being distributed for use in a Virtual Machine.
But I am sure we can think of something.

See you Saturday
Les
