Since Beth got an iBook for her work trip to Scotland, I have the iMac DV SE back at my house. I really like using OS X, so far I have no had any problems with software / getting my work done. I installed fink, Apple's X11, & DarwinPorts GUI so that I would not miss all the F/OSS that I have on my SUSE box.

Next thing to get is a gig of RAM. Apple states that the max RAM for the iMac DV and DV SE is 512MB, in a two 256MB configuration. Turns out that this is not true, the DV / DV SE can handle 1024MB as long as they are two 3.3 volt, unbuffered, 64bit, 168pin, 8ns, PC-100 512MB DIMMs

I'll be posting more soon =]

Well so far we have three mirrors up: Textbox, LabMistress, and MyFreshMedia. Feedback so far has been quiet, no problems have been reported so things are actually looking pretty good! I was expecting to hear all sorts of shit about this is broken or this does not work - so far everyone is happy with TBL.

I have the new devel box: P4 2.4 / 256 / 40GB - Obviously we need way more RAM but other then that it's realy to go. I have put out a request for hardware but it's looking like it's all up to me. I'm cool with that, I really want to see TBL take off as I think we have the start of something great...

A full listing of mirrors and bugs can be found on the Textbox forums - http://www.textbox.net/

So we (Phantasm & I) have decided to start up work on Textbox Linux again. So far we have an old RC that was floating around, it's a 500+mb iso and the only problems it had was booting machines under 64mb RAM. I'm going to work on getting some mirrors and see about getting the RC4 iso up again, I'll post more once I get more things on the list finished =]
