Just got back from a long weekend, and I saw a nice news item waiting for me in my email box, the Zattoo client is now available for Linux. The Zattoo client is a peer-to-peer client that allows the user to select a Live TV channel (out of a growing selection of television channels). While only released so far for Linux in a x86 (32bit) format for 3 different distributions : Ubuntu 6.10, Fedora Core 6, and OpenSuse 10.2, it can quickly be adapted to other distros. I’ve been able to get it running without much trouble (just had to add 2 libraries) on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86-64)....

The Virtual Machine Interface (VMI) that is provided in the VMware Workstation 6.0 work currently only with the Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 distro. But it requires the i386 version, not the x86-64. To check if you’re kernel has VMI paravirtual kernel support enabled, you can check the kernel compile config. Code: # grep VMI /boot/config-2.6.20-15-server CONFIG_VMI=y There isn’t much showing inside the virtual machine when it’s running with the paravirtual kernel support. The only quick way I’ve found so far, is to check the APIC timer interrupt. In the Virtual Machine Interface (VMI) enabled...
VMware has released VMware Workstation 6.0 yesterday. It is the sixth generation of the Workstation virtualization product. This version brings enhancements on the virtual devices and connectivity for the virtual machines (USB 2.0 support, more network cards, multiple-display). Seemlessly run both 32bit environments and 64bit (x86-64) on the same host. Supports running virtual machines in the background with headless operations. Enhanced support for developpers. Up to this point nothing earthshattering right. Well two new features that VMware Workstation 6.0 brings to virtualization are :...
I’ve purchased last year a Swisscom XPA v1605 (HTC TyTN, HERMES or Qtek 9600) PocketPC Phone. It’s a PocketPC sized phone that supports GSM & UMTS communications. It came with Windows Mobile 5.0 and had a few Service provider installed applications (F-Secure Anti-Virus, TomTom Navigator 5 for Switzerland, SBB Timetable) and the Swisscom Mobile Assistant tools. While the phone looked good, I have not been too happy about the performance of the user interface. Additional programs like the SPB Pocket Plus also gave me lots trouble, and the worse, was the high quanity of missed...
