T1000 - it's Linux time

Ubuntu finally releases Ubuntu 6.06 LTS for SPARC.

So a working netboot image for my T1000 is available, just about 2 months after I got mine.

I just went through the setup, an here she goes:

[ 0.000000] PROMLIB: Sun IEEE Boot Prom 'OBP 4.20.0 2005/12/15 16:49'
[ 0.000000] PROMLIB: Root node compatible: sun4v
[ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.15-25-sparc64-smp (buildd@vivies) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 SMP Wed Jun 14 11:47:38 UTC 2006
[ 0.000000] ARCH: SUN4V

Great!


So far everything works fine. At the moment I'm building a crosstoolchain for performance testing.
Stay tuned.

Fluffy keyboard

Today a new keyboard from Bloomberg arrived at work.



It's an iteresting design. Heavy as hell, cables that seem to be made for welding puposes, touchpad, fingerprint sensor, speaker, microphone.
Next time they will add the 24" TFT ;)
