Used Technology

There's a neat blog post called How to Build the CMoy Pocket Amplifier that I was thinking of trying out. As I think I've mentioned before I built a car media computer that runs off a 12V inverter and some regular PC speakers (car's audio wiring is all messed up, it wasn't me -- honest). The sound is low and I wanted to do something custom, this looks like the perfect project.

The other day we built a multimedia computer for the shop . I chose Mandriva Linux because I wanted to provide volunteers with a different experience from the typical Ubuntu Linux they're used to. And it was an experience for me. I've worked quite a bit with Red Hat/Fedora, SuSE, Debian, and Ubuntu, but not so much with Mandriva. I actually found myself a bit lost when it came to package management. I was unfamiliar with urpmi. So I did a bit of research and found a few interesting links.
