Date: 31 May 2003 02:05:01 GMT
HUMBUG, the Home Unix Machine Brisbane Users Group, exists to get
fellow Unix users in contact with each other, to introduce people
to Unix and Unix-like operating systems, and to help users in
operating those systems. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Meetings tend to be informal. We socialize, discuss Unix and
computing, solve Unix problems for new and experienced users
alike, and these days have regular talks.

Time: From three pm till late

Hello,
editing the monthly digest of the TuxMobil News
http://tuxmobil.org/newsfeed.html I noticed that May 2003 brought us
noteworthy applications and news for mobile Linux geeks. Here
is an extract of the monthly digest:
- laptopkernel containing all the patches required to run recent laptops
was initially released. Please support this project.
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/laptopkernel/
- TheftGuard made by the BIOS manufacturer Phoenix is a
theft deterrent application not depending on a certain
operating system, which cannot be removed by replacing the harddisk
http://www.phoenix.com/en/about+phoenix/investors/news+releases/2003/may+27,+2003-a.htm
For more remedies to protect Linux laptops and PDAs see
http://tuxmobil.org/stolen_laptops.html
- The HP Linux laptop sold in Thailand got many attention. But
as CNETASIA reports analysts say this notebook will be a unique case
http://asia.cnet.com/newstech/industry/0,39001143,39132980,00.htm
For other rumors about Linux laptop, PDA and
accessory support by manufacturers see
http://tuxmobil.org/laptop_manufacturer.html
- The first available Centrino laptops were soon be equipped
with a free operating system by some Linux geeks.
There are links to many installation reports and useful patches at
http://tuxmobil.org/centrino.html
- TuxMobil - Linux on Mobile Computers was former known as MobiliX.
Because of a severe trademark charge the name had to be changed to TuxMobil.
But this is not yet the end of the story, a detailed request
to permit an appeal to the highest German civil court
was done at May 27th
http://tuxmobil.org/mobilix_asterix.html
At the 4th Libre Softwaremeeting in Metz (France) July 2003,
I will give a talk about the case.
