Yes it will support flac, and hopefully every other codec under the sun.

Eubey:

If you want to create a website for it go ahead. As you know I already have a forum set up for it but we are early enough that we can change if you want to put a forum up. As is, the ICE Linux forum is partnered with the nGhost forum. To avoid confusion maybe it's best to keep them separate. If no one cares though, you can always link your website to the forum.

alright, i ave registered icelinux.com and trying to get xoops or something set up so that anybody worthy of posting content will be able to. I will have the forum there link to the nGhost distro section, just to keep things collaborative

What happened?
One month and no more posts? I was looking forward to seeing a completed project at some point... You guys give up??

Also, there was talk of this being a VIA specific car distro. Any chance of that being a "lite" version of one with added support for Intel and AMD/SIS based ITX boards? Maybe a version for each platform?

No...Thanks!
I was looking at icelinux.com, which of course, goes no-where...

Hey!

I dont know much about linux but I can work a bit with ubuntu etc.
Now i like the idea of car linux. But are there any software packages for gps? Maps etc. So is there an opensource gps software package tomtom like?


greatings,

Jan

Depending on where you live geographically there are open source solutions for GPS. Alternatively, take a look at what Timekiller has done with iGuidance in this post with video.

Which package Linux ICE will include is still being debated but when it all comes down to the line, it may include several different open source GPS solutions.

cheers,

Kev

PS +1 for ubuntu!

I love the idea of a open source gps software package.

I live in Belgium (Western Europe) So i'm afraid there isn't a lot of software avaible for western europe.

i live in western europe, too (CH) - and i'd like to have freely (not only free price, but freely redistribuable..) available maps, that's why i participate in OpenStreetMap - it's very quickly growing!
alternatively look at map-packages you can use with navit (i haven't tried that one yet)
