a few posts ago i showed how to convert the SuSE *.rpm’s from the google-gadgets-for-linux project, into slackware packages.
well for a couple of their releases now, i’ve been maintaining a Slackware build script. you can browse it on my viewcvs or check it out on subversion
svn co svn://hashbangbash.com/src/pub/SlackBuilds/google-gadgets/
have fun !
for all of you that can’t get enough of knowing way to much about everyone else’s business, things just got easier and sexier

its a web browser, backended with firefox/mozilla, but they’ve incorporated many of the everyday social aspects of the web, and made it easy too.
their current stable is still on firefox2, but i read that the beta2 is backended with firefox3, which should make it that much better. anyhow, check it out

so to make the process even easier for connecting to the internet, using a blackberry as the GPRS modem, on slackware, i put together the packages needed for wvdial.
after initially attempting pppd, and going with wvdial on my openSuSE work laptop, i thought i would tough it out on my personal slackware laptop, and try to work out the needed chat scripts.
BAIL,
so the SlackBuilds are wvdial and wvstreams, these are also served on subversion, so you can ‘svn co’ their URL.
this makes it much more easy to connect, at least with Sprint it does.
tonight while browsing for what laptops are currently available, i see another encouragement. 
, Best Buy actually has Linux listed as an available Operating System, granted all three machines are the new Asus – Eee PC 
.
give a Best Buy an encouraging pat on the back.
