![]() ![]() Since this WWAN card can be configured in real time for two totally different wireless network standards (GSM and CDMA) you need a way to load in the code every time the WWAN is turned on. Unfortunately the Qualcomm Gobi 1000 WWAN had an issue under Linux. I knew coming in there were some issues with the webcam and microphone, it's nice to have the ability to take photos but not a showstopper. This is what I thought would be my only possible Showstopper to going over to a Linux OS Oziexplorer and Dr Depth are known to work in Linux under WINE so prospects are good the Fugawi program will also. I basically use 3 programs, OziExplorer for most things, Dr Depth for making GPS enabled depth and 3D maps and Fugawi Marine ENC for (free) Inland Electronic Navigation Maps for the Upper Mississippi River. Since my fishing database was developed in Open Office Base porting it over to Linux should be a snap and Internet stuff no problem but my GPS software is all Windows based. The idea is to use one desktop as general purpose, one for GPS mapping only, one for Internet access (Weather maps and river conditions) and one for my fishing database. About 3 years back I had a Gentoo system for recording with the Beryl cubed desktop and it's a great way to go when you are running multiple applications and want to keep them separate but accessible. Another big advantage is abiltiy to easily set up a 'cubed' desktop. #Oziexplorer for linux full#Nice big buttons and windows that always open full screen make it an excellent foundation for a touchpad style of netbook. ![]() Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) is a very lean edition of Unbuntu with a User Interface that's designed for netbooks.
