Ein Weblog für mich und alle Anderen, die es interessiert

Just created debian packages for dvdstyler and wxsvg

To make it easier for users to install those packages, I’m working on setting up a repository to add to the /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Next step will be setting up an ubuntu box, for providing ubuntu compatible packages of dvdstyler.


IBM ThinkPad R52

Today I got my new Notebook, an IBM ThinkPad R52. It runs perfect with OpenSuse 10.0.
Hardware specification:

  • P M 750(1.8GHz)
  • 2048MB RAM
  • 60GB 5400rpm HDD
  • 15in 1400×1050 LCD
  • 64MB ATI Radeon X300
  • CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner
  • Intel 802.11abg wireless(MPCI)
  • Bluetooth/Modem(CDC)
  • 1Gb Ethernet(LOM)
  • UltraNav
  • Secure Chip
  • IEEE 1394

Unfortunately the Debian installation that I copied from my old IBM ThinkPad T21 works, but has some disadvantages:

  • can’t access the DVD-drive
  • can’t activate the centrino WLAN chipset (IPW 2200). Installed driver and firmware, but it still doesn’t work.

Just started my new weblog.

Actually searching for a new Notebook. Maybe this will be my new one. Im portant for my decesion will be DVD-RAM support and the possibility to upgrade to 2 GB af RAM.

Have been to Linuxworldexpo in Frankfurt, visited some cool projects (zimbra, Debian and asterisk), got some gifts (pin from SGI, sticker and Debian DVD from Debian and PostgreSQL, Oracle 10G CD, …) and bought a Debian T-Shirt.

This evening I completed the installation of my AMD XP 1800+, which crashed some days ago due to an illegal partition table.
