From the Mailing Lists
August 18th, 2006
A couple of interesting Linux-related tidbits from the mailing list today. Conor on ILUG linked to a very valuable wireless card database. I have been forced to use ndiswrapper on all four of my linux boxes that have wireless cards, since none of my randomly chosen wireless cards were natively supported.
Elsewhere, on the Freevo Users list, there is discussion about the ivtv_xine_tv plugin, which allows you to record live TV on your Linux box. You’d need a few hundred megs of disk space, but it looks like a very nice feature.
All the fiddling with Freevo has made me think about compact PC’s, which has unfortunatley given me a crazy desire to build an in-car computer for myself. I spent some time on the MP3 Car forums today, and the idea is very firmly rooted in my mind now and I am struggling to shake it.
