LinuxICE - In Car Entertainment Distro

**ElNotto** · 03-19-2007, 06:36 PM

I appologize if my posts came across as disrespectful in any way. that was not my intent. Since I'm interested in this project but not a developer, I was attempting to do what I could for the project/community which to my mind includes:

- Downloading and testing the beta releases
- Leaving my bittorrent client running for days to share my bandwith out to others downloading the release
- Providing what I hope is meaningful and helpful feedback to the project developers
- Documenting solutions to problems here in the forum to provide a knowledge source for other who might run into similar issues in the future.

If kev000 is unhappy with the above, he is welcome to tell me to go away or provide for me some suggestions as to how I could better serve the project as a non-developer.

you're fine. I actually am pleased that you are trying it out and providing feedback. Thanks also for seeding the torrent. That saves a lot of people a lot of stress by waiting days for my computer to upload to theirs.

cheers,

Kev000 - if you want to use my website as a mirror you're welcome. I'm currently not using the webspace as I don't have enough time to develop the site at the moment so the bandwidth is pretty much not being used. You could use it as the prefered download method if you would like the pressure off seeding.

Awesome project. I've been using suse linux since version 7, (many years) on my desktop but my current carPC OS is a small XP embedded build. I would love to contribute to this project or help out in some way as I've been considering linux for the car. I am good at digital graphic design of frontends and working with linux in general. Im going to DL your newest alpha and give it a whirl. Couple Q's Is GPS implimented yet? What is the backend audio/video player?

As for GPS, gpsd is running but there isn't yet a pre-installed gps application. I've been testing out navit, roadnav, and gpsdrive. We'll decide which one to include in possibly a beta release.

nGhost, the media frontend uses mplayer to playback media. There are plenty of areas that need helping hands so head on over to the linux ice forum and see what's being done.

thanks,
