Subject: [HUMBUG] Next Meeting - 8th November 2003
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2003 20:01:23 CST
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.
Date: Saturday, 8th November 2003 (every second Saturday)
Time: From 3pm with the network up 30 minutes after we are
granted entry. The network will be brought down after
midnight to allow time to clean up for a 1am exit.
Venue: Room S201, Hawken Engineering Building (no. 50)
The University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus
Car parking is currently unregulated on Saturdays. The
University is serviced by public transport with frequent

Cost: Membership until our AGM in September is $20, but no one
has to join unless they are going to use club services
such as our network access during meetings.
Talks: Information on upcoming talks is announced separately.
For information on talks see the announcements by our
Talks Maintainer on the announce mailing list.
Food: The eating places (ranging from take away to a la Carte)

night. There is also the Pizza Cafe on campus near the

Hello,
this month's TuxMobil News digest has again good news for Linux PDA, mobile
phone and laptop users. Here is an extract of the monthly digest, but note
there are much more noteworthy issues, so do not miss to check the whole
digest[1].
|=| Linuxant has released a Linux driver for the Intel(TM) PRO/Wireless 2100
chipset[2]. So finally all three parts of the Centrino technology are supported.
The driver also supports WLAN chipsets made by Atheros, Broadcom, Intersil and
Realtek. TuxMobil has tested it on an ASUS M2400N
laptop and it worked out-of-the-box[3]. Though unfortunately the
driver is not Open Source. Intel has also announced a driver[4], but whether
this will be released as Open Source or not is still unclear. Nevertheless Centrino(TM)
laptops are already very popular in the Linux community. For almost all
Centrino based laptops installation reports[5] are available.
|=| Werner Schulte has published an OPIE development Live CD[6], which provides
a complete toolchain to generate applications for Linux PDAs. Also two
usefull documents came up. One explains Cross-Compiling For SHARP Zaurus[7] in
general and the other how to cross compile Zaurus apps using Apple
developer tools on Mac OS[8].
|=| As usual there are rumours about new Linux PDAs, this month about the
SHARP SL-6000[9]. But they are not officially confirmed by the manufacturer
itself yet.
