| 17:33.24 | loganaden | greetings |
| 17:33.43 | loganaden | I have the choice between asus eee pro and zaurus |
| 17:33.51 | loganaden | and I'd like OpenBSD on it |
| 17:34.01 | loganaden | which one you'd recommend ? |
| 17:34.42 | Sketch | i would imagine you could install openbsd on either |
| 17:35.18 | Sketch | i would think the bigger choice would be what kind of hardware you are looking for |
| 17:35.47 | Sketch | eee is a laptop, zaurus is not |
| 17:36.23 | loganaden | Sketch, well |
| 17:36.58 | loganaden | Sketch, I'm looking for a small OpenBSD device, that has at least 2 hours of battery time and an built-in ethernet |
| 17:37.15 | Sketch | zaurus does not have built in ethernet, though you can add it via CF |
| 17:37.17 | loganaden | Sketch, I've just subscribed to a WISP |
| 17:37.21 | Sketch | or USB |
| 17:37.27 | loganaden | Sketch, and I'd like something to complement it |
| 17:39.00 | loganaden | Sketch, ok |
| 17:39.10 | loganaden | Sketch, and with no X11 |
| 17:39.16 | loganaden | Sketch, only lynx and ssh |
| 17:39.27 | loganaden | Sketch, how long can it survive ? |
| 17:40.23 | Sketch | hard to say, especially with OpenBSD, i have no idea how it does with powre saving |
| 17:40.38 | Sketch | with linux, 2 hours on wifi should be no problem |
| 17:41.07 | Sketch | though what wifi card you use can have a pretty big effect |
| 17:41.40 | Sketch | i had one that was big (stuck out a lot), and "upgraded" to the dlink with the fairly low profile antenna that is popular and saw a noticable decrease in battery life |
| 17:43.20 | loganaden | Sketch, no wifi |
| 17:43.30 | loganaden | Sketch, just ethernet |
| 17:43.33 | BitWraith | as I understand it, you can save a pretty significant amount of power by switching from wifi to bluetooth PAN |
| 17:44.20 | BitWraith | loganaden, what kind of network are you plugging it into? |
| 17:44.53 | loganaden | BitWraith, I get a public ip thru my WISP |
| 17:45.02 | loganaden | BitWraith, ethernet |
| 17:46.58 | BitWraith | ah... I didn't understand what you meant by WISP, I had to google it. I think we're on the same page now |
| 17:48.44 | BitWraith | the main issue for a zaurus is finding drivers for whatever hardware you want to connect. for that reason, I have yet to be able to use my USB ethernet adapter. CF might be a better choice for you, if that's what you decide to go with (in linux anyway, I know nothing about BSD) |
| 17:50.06 | loganaden | BitWraith, OpenBSD has a list of compatible usb-eth adapters |
| 17:50.23 | loganaden | BitWraith, plenty to choose from, so it's not an issue for me |
| 17:50.39 | BitWraith | I've been using USBNet here, whcih would require a desktop computer between the zaurus and the WISP. I'm guessing that's a deal breaker |
| 17:51.02 | Sketch | BitWraith: yeah, i can probably get 6hrs battery life using bluetooth on my Z |
| 17:51.10 | Sketch | compared to 2-3 with wifi |
| 17:51.27 | BitWraith | Sketch, USB or CF bluetooth? |
| 17:51.28 | Sketch | i thought WISP meant wireless isp |
| 17:51.32 | Sketch | BitWraith: CF |
| 17:51.36 | Sketch | socket |
| 17:51.48 | BitWraith | I hav ea USB one from my computer, but I don't use it much |
| 17:51.50 | Sketch | rev G or so, non-2.0 |
| 17:52.14 | BitWraith | I was hoping I could get it to borrow networking from my cell phone out of the house, but I never quite figured that out |
| 17:53.24 | Sketch | yeah, that's what i do |
| 17:53.28 | Sketch | works pretty good for irc on the train :) |
| 17:53.46 | Sketch | my phone doesn't support PAN though, i have to use ppp via DUN |
| 17:53.52 | BitWraith | I really don't know much more about bluetooth than I do about BSD though. the biggest thing I ever did with it was figure out how to pair a PS3 controller to my desktop. (awesome btw. X-D) |
| 17:53.54 | Sketch | the hard part was getting the init strings needed for the phone |

| 17:57.50 | BitWraith | finally figured out how to print to a windows computer's printer over LAN... was tempted to do the same to the zaurus, then again became sane. |
