    Linux on the LifeDrive UpdatePosted By: Ryan on Thursday, June 22, 2006 11:11:03 AM
Linux for the LifeDrive is still in the developer/experiment stages. Though the new OPIE instructions allow you to take it for a test drive, it can still mess with your unit so a full backup and caution is advised before proceeding.
Thanks to Ross for the tip.

It is getting easier to install. Since it is still in development many of the tools are scattered about the site. I was recently able to get Linux on my T3 with little pin and effort. I just had to sync a prc file to my T3 and copy a file to my memory card. There are many fetures though that are still lacking (i.e. support for the power button, wifi, bluetooth, and some others), but it appears to be coming along. RE: Amazing
Cannot imagine a worthwhile function for such extensive labor Same reason people climb mountains. Some of us actually think this kind of thing is fun. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that any really good programmer does her best work when her motivation is just to see if something is possible. RE: AmazingAdamaDBrown @ 6/23/2006 2:01:10 AM #

to linux hackers 'support for the power button' means the ability to use the power button to cause the OS to run an orderly shutdown before turning the machine off. Typically you can still manually shut down the OS and then power down the hardware (as you can with win/xp) RE: Amazingmeeksomebody @ 6/23/2006 4:56:32 AM #
I wonder, can anybody hack LifeDrive Manager to work on Linux?

WiFi
Recently Alex (author of the port) has started to work on WiFi driver. There are [url=http://hackndev.com/node/423]some results[/url] already. If he will be successful, T|X will also get WiFi.
