boot you linux from your Mobile

Ok lets start for that i use my mobile SGH-F480

And I do it form windows!!

remove the micro sd Put it in the SD-adapter Put the SD-adapter in the USB adapter hehehehe crazy way , why I do that I need it to work like usb flash disk not SD flash for those with notebook ok now

You can just connect the mobile to your usb and use storage mode but what I do is more faster!!!

Download the HP USB tool and format your stick with the tool using a FAT file system.

FAT!! Yes yes that mean you cant do that with your 4 gib micro sd

Ok now you need

A boot system!! Use that in the HP USB tool

Download the Feather Linux zip file

http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/feather/feather-0.7.4-usb.zip


Extract the files from feather-0.7.4-usb.zip to your USB stick.

Download and extract syslinux.zip to a directory on your computer
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Old/syslinux-2.11.zip

Run the command prompt in windows (start/run/cmd) and CD to the syslinux directory. Once there simply type syslinux.exe F: (F: being the example drive letter of the USB stick in this system)

Reboot your PC, go into your system BIOS and set your boot order to boot from
Any selectable USB device. (example USB_ZIP or USB_HDD)
Save your BIOS settings. On the next reboot, you should have a successful launch of Feather Linux from you mobile that concected with the micro-sd inside hehehehehe
Of Corse and but it on storage mode have fun bye

..............A new start in beer-sheva....



Now in beer-sheva after a long time of sleep mode one of the developers of Linux group in
beersheva start to boot up again and build the web site




For all the Linux user in bear sheva so a new fresh start for all aooo eaaa

Install VMware Server on Ubuntu

The first step, of course, is to download VMware Server. You’ll want to download the .tar.gz version. This command can be used for a direct download:

wget -c http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.tar.gz


The second step is to install some development tools that we’ll need to get things running. Use the following command or click the package names to install the requirements:

sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-kernel-devel linux-headers-generic xinetd


Installation and Configuration

Let’s unpack the VMware archive that we downloaded and run the VMware installer.

tar xf VMware-server-1.0.7-*.tar.gz
cd vmware-server-distrib
sudo ./vmware-install.pl



The Last Step

If you attempt to run vmware at this point you might notice that it spits out some nasty errors and complains at you. There is one more thing we need to setup.

Basically VMware is missing and complaining about some cairo libraries and gcc. So, the simple fix for this is to point to them by using a symbolic link:

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/libgcc_s.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0



At this point you should be able to launch vmware and enjoy some virtualization goodness. Enjoy!

OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner

Openmoko is a project to create mobile phones with an open software stack.
We believe in standardization bottom-up (defined and implemented by the community), instead of top-down (defined by a consortium).
For a more thorough introduction see this announcement
Openmoko is supposed to run on all kinds of Linux-capable mobile phones. The first fully supported Openmoko phones are the Neo 1973 and Neo FreeRunner.
This initative has been initiated by FIC Inc. and Openmoko, Inc.

The Neo FreeRunner (internal codename GTA02) is the second phone designed to run Openmoko software and is the direct descendant of the earlier Neo 1973.

[edit] FreeRunner is released!

The FreeRunner can be purchased from the Online Store as of July 3, 2008. The software available on the phone makes it suitable for power users and developers only, it is not ready for the general consumer yet. Email announcements and found on the announce mailing list. For frequently asked questions please check FAQ and GTA02 FAQ.
[edit] Specifications
Very high resolution touch screen (1.7" x 2.27" - 43mm x 58mm) 480x640 pixels
128MB SDRAM memory
Internal GPS module
Bluetooth
802.11 b/g WiFi
400Mhz ARM processor
2 3D accelerometers so that the phone can know its orientation for example switching to landscape mode automatically
2 LEDs illuminating the two buttons on the rim of the case (one bi color [blueorange] behind the power button, 1 uni color [red] behind the aux button)
Tri-band GSM and GPRS
USB Host function with 500mA power allowing you to power USB devices for short periods (will drain the FreeRunner battery faster)
uSD slot supporting up to 8GB SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards
Versions: The Neo FreeRunner is available in two versions, one for the GSM bands of North America (850/1800/1900 Mhz), and one for the GSM bands in the rest of the world (900/1800/1900 Mhz). Unless you explicitly discuss this, a local reseller may by default send you the version appropriate to the distributors location.
A full list of the hardware specs and components of the Neo FreeRunner can be found at Neo FreeRunner Hardware.
A comparison between Neo 1973 and Neo FreeRunner is available at Neo 1973 vs Neo FreeRunner.
[edit] What is the price?
The device is being sold through multiple channels (including Openmoko.com), the official price has been set to 399$ but it could slightly vary in some countries (due to taxes).
[edit] Intended use and users
The Neo FreeRunner is a Linux-based touch screen smart phone ultimately aimed at general consumer use as well as Linux desktop users and software developers.
Linux users and software developers will appreciate the total freedom they have to use and design software for the FreeRunner.
General phone users will eventually appreciate the high spec and performance of the phone and the wide range of free software packages expected to emerge. These will allow users to make the maximum use of the hardware and tailor it to their particular needs. Since launch, the pace of software tweaks and improvements has increased as both the Openmoko team developers and the wider community work together.
[edit] How usable is it?
As the hacker's dream toy: it is fully functional. As a GSM phone: some people have been using it to receive and place phone calls and SMS for months, but with currently shipping software the battery life is only one day. As a GPS device: critical bugs have been ironed out and there is nice software to know where you are using OpenStreetMap. As an alarm clock, media player, internet browser, game console, email reader and contacts manager: software is not stable yet.
If you want fully functional smart phone, then download the Qtopia distribution. If you want to help OM develop it's end user applications, then download 2008.8. It's still "Alpha", which means its not feature complete, but it will give you an idea of the direction we are headed. Read more about these and other distributions, then choose for yourself.
Please see the FreeRunner: Selected Blogs and Articles to get more reviews. The Freerunner Hardware Issues page may also be of interest.
