Comment no video drivers! (Score 1) 739

I remember installing linux in '98 on my new computer which had 32MB ram and and overclocked MB with a 166mhz cpu! I was introduced to Unix in the CS lab at VT and wanted it on my computer. Found a linux distro, redhat linux colgate, Build date: Tue Oct 22 20:49:59 1996, and installed it. Didn't support my video card, had the matrox mystique with 6mb video ram. It did support the matrox millennium but I couldn't afford that. Switched back to win 95 and kept on playing Mechwarrior. good times. Came back to linux eventually but it was always hardware driver issues in the beginning.

Submission + - Apple Cuts Linux iPod Users Off (blogspot.com)

Will Fisher writes: "New iPods will no longer be able to work with Linux. iTunes now writes some kind of hash (SHA1, md5?) to the iPod database which new iPods check against. If this check fails then the iPod reports that it contains 0 songs. This appears to be protection against 3rd party applications writing out their own databases. We haven't found out how to generate our own valid hashes (but we do know the hash includes the database itself, and possibly the iPod serial number), and are looking for help."
