    I got a g1 for Fathers’ Day (Thanks Hannah!) and I’ve been futzing with it a bit. I rooted it and set up a chroot debian system. It’s running an ssh server, openvpn and snmpd. There’s been a lot of talk about getting flash working on the device. They just announced yesterday the next phone…

    Not to be out-done by dhoss… I’ve enabled OpenID authentication so you can comment more easily. Go nuts!

  • Debian router online

    So… I got my Debian router online. I expect to add ipv6 support to my network real soon now. The permanent storage is a 2G CF card with a CF to IDE adapter. The system has 1G of memory. The quagga bgpd has a full IPv4 table loaded. It looks like it’s eating around 180M…
