In case anyone is interested

I've got a voice interface to the LlamaCPP large language model working.

Carrying on a natural language conversation with it is a rather surreal 
experience.

After sixteen years of meetings and service to the community here in

Thus I am declaring that at least for this week we shall not have a

Actually, it was $35.00 USD on the Black Friday special, and sold 
completely out in just a few hours.
I should note that the Christmas shopping season will be coming up again 
shortly, so it may be wise to keep an eye on Amazon for any specials 
that may arise this year.

I am sorry to report that the economics of the Kindle Fire died with 
the new version which costs north of $90.00... They are selling the 
old Kindle Fires at a deep discount price of $49.00. But they used to 
be $33.00! So this web site is retiring to the list at the bottom of 
this document. Sadly Amazon no longer appears to be selling Kindle 
Fires for less than $45.00 each... a real bummer.

Re: Debian/Ubuntu on a tablet

2015-06-22 Thread J. Hart
What precisely do you need to know ? Do you already have particular 
hardware in mind on which you wish to install Debian/Ubuntu ? Are you 
looking for the procedure to install Debian/Ubuntu on such hardware ? 
Are you looking for recommendations for hardware with Debian/Ubuntu 
already installed ? Are you looking for recommendations for hardware 
which will permit one to install Debian/Ubuntu ?

Greetings Vagrants.

I'm working on a project where we may be able to use a Debian/Ubuntu 
tablet in the mix to make some magic happen.


The tablet needs to be able to
* Browse the web
* Print using Cups drivers
* Use WiFi to access the world wide internets
* Use Bluetooth

Anybody have recommendations on a clean system that might meet these 
requirements? I thought this was easy, but a quick googling does not 
reveal the solution.
