Hello -> confused newbie here !!
The linuxbios chat, I can follow but I am very intrigued by the vgabios since it will help linux on the nanofront and advance my own thinman model ***
I am writing a glossary right now and I need to know the difference between:
vgabios, framebuffer and X
My understanding is that X is compiled into the vgabios and that a framebuffer is a vga card (sun systems)
TIA, yeah.. I know
** I have an organization called the Linux Society, right now at http://yahoogroups.com/group/linux-society. We will soon be a postnuke site and will be offering a lot of integration products based on completely new ways of booting linux. Devil-Linux is our standard OS install. The ThinMan is a trademark for a device network that seeks to collect pennies from 6 billion humans rather than thousands from a hundred million (microsoft)

Any other tips ? Thanks , Daniel _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
