I just realized today that usbnet is broken in 2.6.11.6 when I tried to connect to my Zaurus 860. Some googling lead me to the kernel changelog in which it states that a fix for that “brokeness” went in on March 17, 2005. I tried using 2.6.12-rc2 and the usbnet does indeed work with that. Alsa seemed to not really work though, but it’s only rc2 so I’m sure they’ll get it ironed out. Anyway just a note to let you 860 users out there (*cough* weasel *cough*) know that it’s not your fault! 😉

Kmail? Evolution? Thunderbird? No. Mutt.
I’m going back to the console for my mail. Why? Because I’m finally fed up with graphical mail client weirdness. Read on for my reasons (read: ranting)
New Nvidia Drivers
The Nvidia crew has released version 7167 of their drivers for use with linux on x86+x86-64. Check out nvnews.net for info. (So far my geforce 6800 works well with vanilla 2.6.11.3 and xorg 6.8.2)
Z4CK
Z4CK is a book that Kevin Milne wrote on his Zaurus PDA. I got it because I have a Zaurus and I thought it was a great idea! Read more for my review (my first book review!)
Update: Kevin Rocks! Somehow (google I imagine) he found my little review and actually took the time out to thank me! The Internet seems so small sometimes…. =)
Open BSD on a Zaurus?!
