I can't resist. "...if it collects any marketing stats, so what, everyone is doing that..." Only from the unknowledgeable that don't control Javascript (NoScript), flash (etc.), cookies or 'stuff'. Therefore, you have skewed stats. "...There's nothing bad about companies knowing better what I might buy from them..." Yes, there is. scott -----------------------

Marc, the goal is not to build it from commodity parts, but to learn how to build such systems in general :) >From scratch, starting with custom kernel build, then tailored busybox, then web management and stuff... that's what I call open source: working with the source :-) ----- Original Message ---- > From: Marc SCHAEFER <schaefer(a)alphanet.ch> > To: swinog(a)swinog.ch > Sent: Tuesday, October 7, 2008 6:56:06 PM > Subject: Re: [swinog] Embedded Linux practicing > > On Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 04:50:34AM -0700, Stanislav Sinyagin wrote: > > My first mini-project is to build a small Wifi (or even Bluetooth?) > > hotspot (only for home use, of course) which would take its Internet feed > > from one of those mobile USB GPS modems that you get for few francs a month > > from Swisscom or Sunrise. > > It is quite easy to do with the WL-500g WiFi access point, which has the > advantage of > > a) being compatible with standard systems (e.g. DD-WRT GNU/Linux) > > b) having an USB port you can plug the Swisscom Unlimited dongle > inside (the one which pretends to be a CD-ROM, uh, a tty) > > I think it costs about 120.-.

Embedded Linux practicing

by Stanislav Sinyagin

ok guys, now some real stuff :) I've got one of these boards http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS4514239441.html in order to practice my skills in embedded linux applications. My first mini-project is to build a small Wifi (or even Bluetooth?) hotspot (only for home use, of course) which would take its Internet feed from one of those mobile USB GPS modems that you get for few francs a month from Swisscom or Sunrise. any ideas what else could be an interesting project? Or probably you have a real project in mind? cheers, stan

----- Original Message ---- > From: Bernard Dugas <bernard.dugas(a)is-production.com> > I was answering to "ideas" question, no sponsoring question :-) what you described is actually a) quite expensive to build. I would estimate the development work as few hundred thousand euro, if not more -- if we're talking of a consumer-ready product, not just a bunch of sources everyone is free to compile at his own risk :) b) is what the car manufacturers should sponsor, as it's them who is interested in selling more cars with luxury options like you've mentioned :)

> I've never used a satellite link before.... haha :D but why use skype > with it's big overhead when you just need to exchange some plain text > information...? actually I use skype mostly for text chatting, and it works great :) I know some small businesses where skype is the primary way of communication, and they even publish it on their contacts webpage instead of phone numbers :-) Regarding the security -- you just don't have to use public channels for secure information. Your brain is your best firewall :-) so, I don't care much about an closed-source application which works for 99% of my needs (although I do prefer open source software at the server side :-)
