A new day has dawned at Dotto Tech: Steve extols the virtues of Linux, a free operating system that is no longer only for the advanced computer geek. Also, the self-confessed “navigationally-challenged” Caroline shows off Delphi’s NAV200, a handheld GPS navigational tool.

Linux

Can I get a copy of the DVD for season 5 episodes 15 & 16? I am currently using the library's computers. The libraries do not yet have those episodes in their catalogues. I found the broadcasts very useful, but I would like to be able to refer back to them. Mart.

Season 5 DVDs

HI Matt. I'm just putting the finishing touches to the Season 5 DVD set, and should have it available for sale within the next three weeks. We only sell them as sets, not individual DVDs or individual episodes - so it will come as a six disc set containing all 26 episodes of Season 5. We covered some great topics in that season!

Simply Mepis

I followed the instructions for downloading Simply Mepis and was able to load Mepis Linux on to my old laptop. Unfortunatly I am now unable to use the touch pad on the laptop and the serial mouse also won't work. Makes it very hard to navigate with cursor keys. Any suggestioins

YDL

anyone know how much different Yellow Dog Linux V6.0 is from Simply Mepis. Im currently running YDL on a ps3, and am having some difficulty. I chose this install because it was what Sony supported, and was going to ship with their systems.
