[techtalk] laptop on linux

[Jenny Bailey]

Vaios are pretty, I can't deny that. I didn't realise that Sony were being
so difficult about making their interface open. You'd have thought that they
would be a bit brighter.


Linux recognises the CD, but data is read really slowly, there seems to be a
timeout problem. I installed RH by copying the CD to the DOS ( under DOS )
partition and doing a HD install.

I'm developing software that uses /dev/dsp ( www.setisearch.org )and have
tried very hard to get sound working using OSS and ALSA. I've failed with
both


Perhaps RH7.0 will be better..

I have to buy a large battery for long plane flights. When working away, my
laptop desktop is the nearest thing to home that I have..
