0,58,0,Manufactures and dealer of the Efika. 58,157,0,He came to join us, a Linux betatester 157,270,0,He's doing betatest job, and came to tell us more|about the Linux aspects, 283,385,0,while I will try to talk about the Amiga aspects 385,433,0,as far as it's tied to the Amiga of course 433,496,0,as there is always an ongoing debate over it. 496,604,0,At first let's talk about the hardware. 604,736,0,Now, this is an Efika, taken apart. 736,847,0,It's a PowerPC based hardware. 847,1016,0,We will later explain why it's good that it's|this small and seems to be so simple. 1016,1223,0,As we all know, all over the desktop and |everywhere X86 CPU's are pushing ahead 1224,1291,0,even our main sponsor is Intel, |and there's nothing wrong with it. 1291,1485,0,But my personal opinion is, that the world,|behind this marketing layer 1485,1554,0,is moved ahead by different CPU types. 1554,1630,0,You've just seen the mobile presentation 1630,1820,0,and most of you may know, that most mobile|phones are built around ARM processors 1820,1862,0,save for a few outdated models. 1862,2078,0,and if you visit the console room, in all three|next gen consoles you will find Power derivative processors. 2078,2183,0,This is why we think it worths to|look for alternatives 2183,2352,0,besides the mainstream X86 processors. 2352,2488,0,The Amiga roots of this whole Efika line 2488,2627,0,start with the firm called Phase5 2627,2848,0,who developed many turbo cards, including|the only working PowerPC turbo cards for Amiga computers 2848,2918,0,but then Phase5 folded, 2918,3052,0,and most of the engineers founded|the firm called BPlan 3052,3103,0,who developed the Pegasos motherboard 3103,3279,0,which was manufactured in different models during,|if I remember right from 2002 up to 2006 3279,3388,0,but it was time to move on, 3388,3517,0,RoHS rules and demands have changed, 3518,4024,0,and it was time to target a segment beside the desktop,|where Intel and their X86 processors dictate the rules 4024,4218,0,Despite this, the Efika motherboard we are about to show off|can even be used as a desktop computer 4218,4307,0,both with Linux, and maybe even more with MorphOS 4307,4351,0,but this you will all see from the speed 4351,4416,0,Peter Czanik will introduce Linux, 4416,4491,0,we will show you some spectacular things, 4491,4651,0,but at first I think let's talk about|the hardware capabilities of the Efika 4651,4773,0,the motherboard is this small as you can see in the box 4773,4860,0,it's a hard drive on the top of it 4861,5066,0,this box you can see is the original case it arrives in 5066,5141,0,there's a Pico PSU, this small thing is all the PSU there 5141,5200,0,it operates from a 12V external PSU 5200,5276,0,this is an IDE controller 5276,5344,0,and right below the HDD we can find the processor 5344,5400,0,and the memory too 5400,5446,0,of course all without a cooler 5446,5499,0,the entire thing takes up 4, yes four Watt 5499,5552,0,and of that 3 goes for the memory. 5552,5598,0,and 1 for the processor 5598,5738,0,there's a standard 3.3V PCI slot 5738,5888,0,and as some slots in the desktop are 5V not all|cards might work, but 5888,6018,0,most cards today support this standard. 6018,6186,0,It has another advantage, as it's relatively simple|to convert this PCI to something resembling an AGP 6186,6280,0,so there's an AGP riser like this 6280,6399,0,which enables us to use low profile AGP cards 6399,6517,0,Yes, you may as well ask if this machine is so integrated,|why the video isn't integrated as well 6517,6653,0,now as far as I know the Efika started as an experimental project 6653,6781,0,but it turned out that it can be manufactured so cheap,|and there seems to be also demand for it 6781,6838,0,that it went into production 6838,6930,0,but as new versions of the system on chip|the Efika is built around will appear 6930,7257,0,which besides the processor contains the PCI, IDE, USB, Ethernet etc. 7257,7404,0,and when it will include integrated video 7404,7498,0,this PCI slot might free up for other purposes. 7498,7621,0,The connectors at the backplate are the follows 7621,7864,0,there's the place for the low profile agp card 7864,7961,0,and it requires absolutely no cooling,|not even with the video card 7961,8211,0,so it's absolutely silent and noiseless 8211,8392,0,in this one we have a Toshiba HDD which is absolutely silent too. 8392,8503,0,there's also 2 USB 8503,8573,0,one ethernet connector 8573,8651,0,the usual sound connectors, microphone, line, etc. 8651,8819,0,also, just like on the Pegasos an SPDIF optical sound output 8819,8900,0,and there is also a serial port 8900,9145,0,which comes handy if you use the PCI slot for something else|like a Wifi card or anything 9146,9376,0,the board can be fully controlled through this serial port 9376,9460,0,even the BIOS and the firmware can be accessed through it 9460,9608,0,many of us might know Hyperterminal from Windows 9608,9786,0,you connect it to the Efika, and all BIOS|messages will show up 9786,9858,0,and you can fully control the machine through this. 9858,9986,0,Of course it's mostly for Linux use 9986,10067,0,as Linux also fully works through the serial port 10067,10304,0,so if you don't need a graphic interface, as you use it as a home server,|or any other low consumption purpose 10304,10458,0,the machine will be perfectly accessible this way. 10458,10604,0,Well, if there might be anything that I missed, let's hear your questions 10604,10690,0,Where's the PSU? 10690,10788,0,We have already mentioned it, it has an ATX PSU, this one here. 10788,10881,0,That's all the PSU there. 10881,10961,0,And also there is an external PSU providing 12V. 10961,11112,0,Here's the external PSU. 11112,11234,0,Not a big deal as well. 11234,11420,0,A fully assembled Efika with a low profile radeon,|which is not famous of it's low consumption 11420,11636,0,can be made taking below 10 Watts as Peter corrects me. 11636,11747,0,He measured it, 10 Watts then. 11747,11804,0,Including the HDD and all. 11804,11935,0,Don't know if I mentioned it, it's a 400 MHz CPU 11935,12040,0,with 128 Mb integrated memory 12040,12085,0,it may seem quite weak 12085,12128,0,but it's more than enough 12128,12321,0,as many of you might meet with my email adress,|scenergy.dfmk.hu 12321,12421,0,this machine is a 120 MHz 486 with 32 Mb ram 12421,12467,0,along with a 4 Gb HDD 12467,12540,0,and it works flawlessly for more than 8 years 12540,12657,0,and we salvaged it even in those times from the|bottom of the scrapheap 12657,12721,0,both the motherboard and the case 12722,12781,0,and it's happily working with over 30 users 12781,12888,0,so you can imagine what this machine can do if you|want to use it to similar purposes. 12888,13081,0,Now, any more questions? 13081,13269,0,When will it have MorphOS? 13269,13338,0,I don't know, and I was perfectly frank with that. 13338,13453,0,Or, I lied tho, there is MorphOS for it, and we will show it off 13453,13628,0,but when will it be released and available for the public I don't know. 13628,13680,0,We hope sometime soon. 13680,13775,0,We have a slide, I think it already displayed, the impact is near. 13775,13817,0,MorphOS 2.0 13817,13908,0,That's the starting point. 13908,13993,0,It's closer than many might like, and farther than many would like. 13993,14180,0,I think it's time for the Linux presentation 14180,14320,0,the only thing I'd say before I pass the microphone 14320,14412,0,well... no, I'd better tell it later. 14412,14460,0,Peter, please continue 14691,14815,0,Okay, it even works. 14815,14868,0,I'm Peter Czanik 14868,14946,0,called as a Genesi operative here 14946,15018,0,that may be true as an external associate 15018,15108,0,I haven't met in life with any internal operatives 15108,15193,0,even with an external only about 1.5 years ago in Brussels 15193,15351,0,but they're a good bunch, we keep in touch through the internet 15351,15478,0,it's good to work together 15479,15667,0,I think most of you know more the Pegasos and MorphOS from the Amiga side 15667,15705,0,so how does Linux comes into the picture? 15705,15807,0,At least it has been asked many times. 15807,15904,0,The major reason is financial. 15904,16061,0,I know it may be a little embarassing as an Amigan, but it's a|considerably smaller community compared to the Linux one 16061,16170,0,and after some time it turned out that it can't|maintain a company on it's own 16170,16329,0,then came an opening towards the Linux community 16329,16544,0,as it may help pay the bills, and |even support development for the Amiga line 16544,16876,0,and I joined when it turned out, and there was a need |to test different Linux distributions, 16877,16940,0,as there are rarely two similar among them. 16989,17169,0,I'm a Suse tester for about 10 years 17372,17579,0,and when the 10 OpenSuse appeared I asked BBRV 17579,17672,0,whether I could test it on their machine 17672,17811,0,when they asked for my address, which I left out from my email 17811,17898,0,and in approx. 10 days I tested OpenSuse on the Pegasos 17899,18055,0,He received a machine for free just for testing, and all this for an email. 18055,18249,0,But since then it payed out I believe. 18249,18392,0,It means that the distrib working best on Pegasos is the OpenSuse 18392,18551,0,and also working, but it's not important anymore the|Open Enterprise Server 18551,18603,0,absolutely flawlessly 18603,18675,0,the only drawback is that no new Pegasos can be bought for it. 18769,18858,0,A question also many used to ask from me is 18858,18990,0,isn't the Efika a step back? 18990,19055,0,as it is much more modest performance wise 19055,19191,0,or even if not much more, it's still weaker than the Pegasos 19191,19458,0,Those who ask the question may be right, as|computationally it's indeed weaker, 19458,19641,0,but it's like a swiss army knife, because it's small both|in it's size and consumption 19641,19819,0,it's terribly small, for me I use it for measuring, so|it needs neither HDD or video 19819,19970,0,it's peak consumption is 4 Watts, but usually I|measure 2-3 Watts 19970,20084,0,when I control an instrument through the serial port 20084,20198,0,and it belongs quite to the insignificant category 20198,20438,0,from this you can see that it can be used for many purposes.|It can also be used as a desktop machine 20438,20615,0,the only thing you have to pay attention to not to use|the most demanding applications available 20615,20865,0,and if you do so, you can achieve the same functionality|as with a 3-4 GHz P IV 20865,21076,0,and the over advertised Core 2 Duo is absolutely|unnecessary on the desk of a secretary 21076,21251,0,Sorry, in the name of our sponsor,|the Core 2 Duo is an excellent processor. 21490,21599,0,Now, the same functionality can be achieved on this machine 21599,21738,0,the only difference being in the savings on the electricity bill. 21739,21979,0,This box you can see assembled here is called Open Client 21979,22376,0,this indicates the direction Genesi is heading to, |namely the market of thin clients 22377,22740,0,as this machine is enough, or more than enough to run an|RDesktop or a VNC 22740,23189,0,and we have deployed worldwide 10-30-50 Efikas|connected to a main server as clients 23189,23296,0,I think I will pass the hardware around and see for yourselves 23296,23379,0,but carefully please, as it's a working hardware|and we want to use it later in the presentation 23379,23599,0,so take it, I have removed the video card as it's a |standard PC videocard 23599,23809,0,So here it is 23809,23930,0,get in touch 23930,24178,0,Sorry for the interruption, go on 24178,24422,0,There are many projects, and I mention projects as there is a website 24422,24499,0,called www.powerdeveloper.org 24499,24612,0,it's the developer page of Genesi 24612,24705,0,one could apply for free Efika boards at a time 24705,24977,0,and almost the third of those projects was about a set-top-box like setup 24977,25260,0,you put it on top of the television, and with a remote|you can play music or video from a different server 25260,25373,0,or even play tv games 25373,25634,0,but don't think about console level graphics 25634,25887,0,but more like old c64 games, or even Quake III |can be played on some of these 25989,26142,0,My favorite is measuring tasks, 26142,26418,0,in this case a larger machine may itself influence the measurement|even with the heat it dissipates 26418,26601,0,in my case in soil chemistry PH measurement|depends on temperature 26601,26773,0,and external heat sources may influence the results 26773,26995,0,but if I place an Efika beside the experiment it has|relatively zero impact 27193,27302,0,In the background if there's a way I'd like to start up the macine 27302,27511,0,as I'd like to help Charlie to show what Efika is less great to use 27511,27554,0,and where comes MorphOS into the picture 27554,27647,0,Picture?|It's turned on. 27647,27720,0,Here it is... Wait... 27720,27950,0,Here it is.|An Open Suse if I'm not mistaken? 27950,28004,0,Yes, you're right it's an Open Suse. 28083,28155,0,Could you please turn off the light? 28155,28288,0,The first example will be an anti-example 28288,28641,0,We all know there's a mania of 3D desktops all around the world 28641,28747,0,Everything's transparent, cross fading, eye-candy and so on 28747,28912,0,And even Linux knows all this, and there are many youtube|videos watched with envy by both Windows and Mac users 28912,29016,0,Like rubber like windows and 3D rotating desktop on a cube 29016,29100,0,and it works on Efika too... but... 29100,29177,0,In five minutes we will see. 29177,29222,0,So now it's gnome booting... 29222,29292,0,Well, like a gnome, crawls in pretty slow 29292,29373,0,X switched resolution 29373,29454,0,Oh, we have a cursor, great! 29619,29853,0,To go on, before Genesi I was a system administrator 29853,29988,0,I use the Efika as a home server 29988,30209,0,Charlie already mentioned how little performance is enough for|pretty fine services 30210,30330,0,I have a similar Open Client at home 30330,30511,0,as a server for the two laptops, the other Efikas and the Pegasos 30511,30636,0,beta installations run always from this machine 30636,30747,0,even video through lan 30747,30802,0,and it's very pleasant to use 30802,31015,0,but still the laptop HDD is not a supersonic jetfighter 31015,31245,0,so for speed critical tasks I rather use an external USB HDD 31245,31335,0,Is it really starting? 31335,31446,0,It starts very slowly, I said it will take some time. 31446,31558,0,But isn't it time for the GDM first?|Yes it must be the GDM. 31558,31672,0,I have also a GDM, but by this time it should be running. 31672,31774,0,Another thing to mention 31774,31821,0,Efika can be purchased as a standalone motherboard 31821,31882,0,in the first times it could only be purchased that way 31882,31967,0,as it's not compatible with certain form factors 31967,32051,0,it's because of size and manufacturing considerations 32051,32095,0,it's cheaper to produce if smaller 32095,32134,0,but it's not size compatible with anything else 32134,32301,0,Many of you certainly heard of the VIA Epia 32301,32378,0,where VIA defined an ITX standard 32378,32468,0,which become their household standard 32468,32521,0,and it's a Micro ITX case 32521,32572,0,and it's my Efika 32572,32647,0,It was quite simple to modify the case to fit 32647,32770,0,all those managed to pass technics in elementary classes 32770,32869,0,will be able to do the same, it takes two|sheets of cardboard and a scissors 32869,33014,0,now as heat is a non-issue 33014,33110,0,I fixed the cardboard to the Mini ITX holes 33110,33188,0,and then placed the Efika on the cardboard 33188,33266,0,and that's all 33266,33370,0,it's perfectly stable, as it's very light and small 33370,33409,0,so it will stay in place 33434,33547,0,There's no additional HDD in there, so it was quite easy to do 33547,33669,0,Well? Will we have a Linux or has it given it up? 33669,33800,0,Over there it worked. 33800,33887,0,So it's the devil... 33887,34002,0,Can we make it to show off something without the XGL? 34002,34052,0,I think we'd rather... 34052,34145,0,Can you start the XFCE? 34145,34211,0,It seems we won't have it this time 34211,34241,0,why should it work? 34241,34419,0,But we could see that it starts incredibly slow 34419,34455,0,when it starts, that is 34455,34518,0,It's all about you can really rotate the cube. 34601,34737,0,And about that's it, as Gnome takes all 128 Mb of the ram 34737,34822,0,and we will see the real contrast with MorphOS 34822,34967,0,As on the same machine where Linux is absolutely struggles as a desktop 34967,35038,0,or it works with limitations 35038,35135,0,MorphOS performs with surprising speed. 35135,35176,0,In my opinion. 35176,35278,0,Even more so when we take into considerations the effects it performs. 35278,35450,0,Loves, loves not... 35450,35497,0,It seems better. 35497,35565,0,Artifact is your friend. 35805,35900,0,Now it's possible that effects would work on XFCE4 too? 35900,36002,0,Magic... XFCE... 36100,36240,0,Ooops... 36240,36382,0,Something works, but not everything... 36382,36536,0,Of course I wanted to show XFCE as something working fast 36536,36639,0,But it won't do... All right. 36697,36796,0,We also has to tell about the different Operating Systems 36796,36907,0,Charlie will tell about the MorphOS... 37049,37136,0,but apart from that there are a few more available 37136,37275,0,those in the still in development category 37275,37347,0,NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris 37347,37498,0,still haven't reached the single user mode 37498,37599,0,there are also some drivers missing 37600,37739,0,porting is about initialising or something like that 37739,37800,0,so there is still work to do 37800,37950,0,There are systems fully functional, but unfortunately|I couldn't bring you a working demo version 37950,37991,0,like QNX 37991,38298,0,Some of you may remember the 1 floppy QNX|with a web browser 38298,38418,0,and the same time when Explorer could be installed|from 27 floppy disks 38418,38484,0,this contained the whole Operating System 38546,38587,0,It's a real time operating system 38587,38740,0,it has significance in measuring 38740,38839,0,if all goes well I might use them for the same purpose 38839,38997,0,when labview port is finished 39086,39254,0,What's also ready? 39254,39452,0,Linux is more or less ready 39554,39754,0,there are drivers for all components of the Efika 39754,39910,0,even as a last, the soundcard is usable 39910,39985,0,practically everything works 39985,40098,0,the only issue is that while there is stable driver for everything 40098,40219,0,not everything is included in the official Linus kernel 40219,40280,0,the boys are still working on it 40419,40543,0,The different distributions 40543,40783,0,Bplan in the old days, when Efika made it's first appearance 40783,40876,0,provided a Debian installer 40876,41158,0,that still works, but a manual is still required, what needs to be done|differently than the official install 41159,41392,0,also perfectly working is Gentoo with it's simple installer 41392,41479,0,so Gentoo works very fine 41479,41563,0,Gentoo also has the advantage 41563,41752,0,that every software can be optimized for the CPU 41752,42002,0,and it contains also that much as is really necessary 42002,42115,0,Well, that's my fault as I convinced Peter to show off XGL 42115,42227,0,and it made everything sluggish 42227,42649,0,the advantage of Gentoo also it's disadvantage, |as everything has to be compiled 42649,42739,0,and Efika is not the ideal platform for massive compilations like OpenOffice 42739,42845,0,which takes 9 hours even on a Pentium IV for me 42931,43102,0,but there are also Gentoo binaries available and they really fly 43102,43142,0,and there even the XGL flies 43142,43257,0,Also related that one of the Gentoo developers 43257,43350,0,Pieter Van den Abeele 43350,43551,0,he made us a Gentoo iso where everything truly flies on the Efika 43551,43631,0,but it's a 1.5 Gb DVD image 43631,43673,0,we received this morning at 9 am 43673,43780,0,and the server it's on performed only 20 kb/sec 43780,43855,0,so we were unable to download it in time 43855,43982,0,All those will come next Friday to the Amiga Club will be able to see it 44128,44339,0,Anything more?|I'd like to tell about a few other distributions 44440,44739,0,Also to Gentoo, if you have a powerful machine, cross compiling works,|so you can use it for compiling 44861,44931,0,Ubuntu is very popular, but unfortunately no installer is working yet to it 44931,45241,0,but Suse's installer is working like a charm 45241,45394,0,all that we have to fiddle with starting parameters a bit yet 45394,45464,0,but it's working fine 45464,45588,0,what you can see behind is a Suse 45588,45674,0,it's only sluggish because of XGL, 45674,45696,0,otherwise i'ts pretty fast 45696,45762,0,or used to be 45762,45996,0,Fedora, I haven't tried to be honest 46358,46556,0,Also good to know, that if someone intends to use it as a thin client 46556,46656,0,then with a minimum amount of hacking 46656,46756,0,the Edubuntu, if someone installed it on his Pegasos 46756,46828,0,or any other PowerPC based machine 46828,47015,0,then he can use the Efika as a thin client to it 47111,47111,0,I think that's all 47172,47304,0,If anyone has questions I will gladly answer them 47304,47422,0,Question, anyone? 47475,47542,0,I have the idea that I have a set up Debian on my machine 47543,47605,0,and we destroyed Peter's Suse presentation 47605,47651,0,making it so sluggish 47651,47749,0,we should try my Debian 47749,47833,0,as I've booted it several times and worked perfectly 47833,47927,0,with much more decent speed 48023,48023,0,But if Peter manages to do something 48023,48073,0,to make XGL disappear 48073,48114,0,then we may wait even to his machine 48165,48262,0,I'd like to add to the PowerPC based machines 48262,48344,0,as it's a twilight zone for many of you 48344,48448,0,that despite these machines are not compatible 48448,48588,0,like there is a PowerPC processor in the PS3 48588,48640,0,and Linux is running on it 48640,48696,0,there is PPC in older Macintosh machines, also running Linux 48696,48766,0,PowerPC is in a PowerPC based Amiga 48766,48794,0,PowerPC is in the Pegasos 48794,48932,0,so in theory these machines ain't compatible 48932,49060,0,as the hardware, the rom is made of quite a wide variety 49060,49171,0,if you have already installed a Linux kernel 49171,49330,0,then... any of you back there haven't seen the Efika? 49330,49381,0,Or it was there already? 49493,49534,0,Let's start the Debian 49624,49624,0,All right, 49624,49724,0,when you have a Linux kernel, the same softwares will run everywhere 49724,49849,0,you compile it on the stronger machine 49849,49884,0,you simply copy it over 49884,49920,0,and it works 49920,50007,0,It applies to all the operating systems working on this machine 50007,50054,0,we have mentioned MorphOS 50054,50121,0,and just like on PowerPC Amigas 50121,50177,0,and the Pegasos 50177,50210,0,and the Efika the exact same softwares run 50210,50318,0,the binarias are the same 50318,50450,0,Only exceptions when a hardware has too little performance for the task 50450,50581,0,or it uses say the altivec in the G4 processor 50673,50760,0,It's obvious if it's missing from a processor it won't work 50760,50823,0,It's the same on PC 50823,50939,0,If a CPU extension isn't in the processor you want to run it on, it won't work 50939,51018,0,Is XGL a history now? 51018,51181,0,Oh my, XGL started! 51181,51408,0,Advance in technology is marvellous 51526,51617,0,Stemming from the fact that it's a developer Suse 51617,51744,0,and it's the OpenSuse updater which had problems 51744,51855,0,But it's no wonder as there's nothing to update with 51924,51959,0,Well? Well? 52060,52103,0,There's a clock! 52103,52152,0,Approx. 1-2 minutes 52152,52260,0,The window didn't fade out, is XGL running for sure? 52260,52352,0,Well, it's not sure... 52476,52522,0,Guess it isn't... right? 52666,52811,0,All right, let's connect the other Efika, and there we can show something. 52891,53011,0,We have volume adjuster also if I'm not mistaken 53044,53086,0,Menu! 53212,53285,0,Surprisingly fast - we don't have XGL, do we? 53441,53550,0,I'm surprised as I've used this machine 53550,53620,0,I mean mine with Linux 53620,53682,0,so it's... No XGL, right? 53682,53747,0,No XGL, all right 53792,54035,0,2 minutes break 54749,54814,0,The most interesting thing if I may tell it 54814,54865,0,that there's the scenecon's website 54865,54959,0,there was a beta test system 54959,55042,0,where we checked all modifications before going live 55042,55129,0,and the test server was the same Efika which is connected to the projector 55129,55205,0,we hope that we will also have picture 55205,55252,0,Blue, there is blue. 55252,55310,0,There's picture. 55310,55344,0,Wonderful. 55344,55427,0,That was Debian. 55586,55651,0,I managed to type in my password at first try, unprecedented. 55651,55732,0,I also have XFCE. 55732,55859,0,But it may show that it's also capable of endurable speed. 55859,55964,0,Same hardware?|Exact same hardware. 55965,56007,0,Exactly the same machine as before. 56007,56096,0,It takes this long to boot XFCE, I think it's bearable. 56096,56309,0,It's the case we wanted too much 56309,56375,0,adjusted Peter's machine accordingly, but managed to mess it up 56375,56662,0,Problem is, there's no net, so I can show off the browser 56662,56722,0,Iceweasel is tricky 56722,56763,0,while Opera is quite usable 56763,56832,0,as soon as it swaps itself in. 56832,56981,0,That seems to be usable. 56981,57082,0,Flock? I don't know. 57082,57144,0,I have never tried, maybe someone else. 57144,57189,0,I tried opera on it. 57189,57299,0,That seems to work. 57299,57343,0,There must be a scrollbar somewhere. 57343,57394,0,If I manage to find it. 57394,57437,0,There's mouse scroll. 57437,57491,0,As you can see, it works. 57491,57622,0,I could show unix sites on it, and we could see that it's not that dangerous. 57622,57690,0,It works pretty well. 57690,57800,0,XChat, practically I used to 57800,57914,0,run Opera and XChat 57914,58042,0,these are almost the same as on my Pegasos 58042,58103,0,there I managed to have XGL 58103,58159,0,but here I had neither time nor courage to try it 58159,58265,0,But as we managed to make it with Peter,|and the cube rotated and it worked 58265,58341,0,we thought that we may show it off, but with no luck 58341,58480,0,Well, if anyone has Linux questions, then gladly... 58480,58589,0,Peter, any Linux questions? 58589,58645,0,Sorry. 58645,58699,0,Anyone else? 58816,58949,0,XFCE terminal is pretty slow to start,|anyone not knowing XFCE 58949,59011,0,nowadays it's pretty popular 59011,59143,0,it's a lightweight desktop 59143,59258,0,there's Gnome and KDE everyone knows, 59258,59319,0,but both of them are pretty bloatwares 59319,59405,0,very big, very slow as usual 59405,59478,0,which is a no deal for a Core 2 Duo 59478,59560,0,but if we're talking about heat dissipation and so on 59560,59734,0,it means that it has to run on a 10 year old hardware 59734,59802,0,if it runs well on a 400 MHz Celeron it runs well here. 59802,59933,0,and XFCE is designed to run on low performance machines 59933,59995,0,and it helps Efika a lot 59995,60043,0,Gnome is extremely slow 60043,60183,0,as the two strips on the sides of the screen swallow up all the memory 60183,60229,0,it won't happen with XFCE 60229,60310,0,if you buy a relatively cheap used PC 60310,60383,0,and put an XFCE on it, it will be perfectly fine 60383,60516,0,my girlfriend's mother and sister works on PII 350s 60516,60600,0,low memory and XFCE and it's perfectly usable. 60600,60637,0,(cheese grinder) 60637,60709,0,There was money only for those 60709,60758,0,but it works like a charm 60758,60947,0,Well... Let's show MorphOS as it's much more appealing. 60947,61059,0,As everyone can see Linux and home, and see that it's slow. 61128,61175,0,Now let's see something that's fast. 61291,61382,0,For Linux it takes time to realize I turned it off. 61382,61456,0,Blue. 61456,61709,0,On the monitor there's a cursor... 61709,61764,0,Action! 61764,61842,0,That's my favorite Linux... Shutdown. 61842,61875,0,Best. 61875,62235,0,Still shutdowning? I thought that it's ready. 62460,62558,0,I pressed shutdown instead of restart, will someone push the button? 62558,62631,0,On the top of it. 62820,62899,0,Visibility vest team. 62980,63011,0,Well? Anything? 63126,63171,0,Let's show some openfirmware first. 63171,63285,0,It's a firmware standard. 63285,63392,0,It's something the Mac's have but Apple quite overpatched it. 63392,63447,0,And changed pretty much. 63447,63508,0,Something similar is in the Suns if I'm not mistaken. 63508,63537,0,What? 63537,63589,0,It's from Sun, Peter says. 63589,63747,0,Efika has something like that, but quite patched also. 63747,63840,0,We talked about that the motherboard|handles ordinary PC videocards 63840,63970,0,it's possible because the firmware has an X86 emulator 63970,64065,0,which can initialise the BIOS of the videocard 64065,64229,0,it's mostly used with Radeon and XGI 64229,64342,0,I have tried a range of cards, from old Ati Rages 64342,64438,0,to 9250 Radeons 64438,64568,0,and the firmware can initialise almost each of them 64568,64647,0,that's pretty smart 64647,64757,0,The thing I like in these firmwares|and dislike in PC bioses 64757,64824,0,I get an eye candy interface but can't do a thing 64824,64959,0,in these firmwares there's a prompt, and many things to adjust 64959,65108,0,like dumping it's settings 65108,65218,0,it seems stone age, but if you know what to do and how to do 65218,65299,0,it's far better than a menu/wizard wonder 65299,65410,0,it's quite simple to adjust, you set it once and touch never more 65470,65565,0,we can also list the content of hard disks 65565,65741,0,like this is the content of my MorphOS partition 65741,65800,0, 65800,65862,0,before I passed the microphone 66610,66708,0,Back to the presentation 66708,66843,0,We have presented 1.4.5 many times in Hungary 66843,66943,0,and many of you know it well 66943,67130,0,But the 2.0, before called 1.5 67130,67250,0,but will most probably be released as 2.0 67250,67366,0,Is delayed for quite a long time, I won't discuss here 67366,67433,0,We could say many ugly things 67433,67583,0,But it seems people are grown up enough to bury the hatchets 67583,67758,0,and peace seems to be back 67758,67879,0,The results are numerous spectacular developments 67879,67933,0,Of which I'd like to show you one 67933,68059,0,Namely that the entire interface and windowing system of MorphOS has been rewritten 68059,68381,0,And produced 3D graphic card effects in a way which is still|fully compatible with 3.1 Workbench 68381,68443,0,and runs the same Amiga applications 68443,68512,0,Practically with no speed penalties 68512,68651,0,In some cases it's even faster than the previous system 68651,68806,0,Practically it is capable to perform 3D effects, which I will show you 69167,69254,0,In the background you can see that the window is transparent 69255,69369,0,It works in full realtime 69369,69528,0,And you can move windows in front and the background 69528,69678,0,It works flawlessly on a 400 MHz machine 69678,69774,0,It uses the acceleration of the Radeon inside 69774,69894,0,Let's open a few more windows to make it perfect 69894,69958,0,It was already there 69958,70002,0,Even a ramdisk... 70002,70100,0,System... 70100,70154,0,Where are the icons? Here are the icons. 70296,70361,0,Let's start an AmIrc - but there's still no net. 70442,70525,0,Maybe it's more impressive 70525,70624,0,It has quite a decent speed 70824,70934,0,And it works on Efika 70934,70988,0,We've already shown it on Pegasos 70988,71093,0,and there was a Presentation in Poland 71093,71205,0,the developer of this 3D layers, who is polish 71205,71290,0,he show it off 71290,71443,0,but here in Hungary and on Efika it's sure that I present it first 71443,71556,0,as till yesterday even I didn't have it 71556,71788,0,We also have to apologize, as for example|Emeric has made us a background 71788,71875,0,for this presentation I had no time to set 71875,71936,0,and copy from other machines 71936,72008,0,my only excuse is that this background is also made by him 72008,72111,0,so maybe this conflict will resolve 72111,72187,0,mitigating cause 72187,72412,0,Many told me the first thing they turn off in operating system|is this 3D transparent stuff 72412,72534,0,I think it's mainly because they use it the wrong way 72534,72739,0,I'm not an OSX fan 72739,72921,0,but OSX is a good example of how to implement transparency|and 3D and still remain pleasant to use 73029,73123,0,Not to mention that it's not for these pointless things 73123,73310,0,but it also enables alpha windows to fully integrate into the system 73310,73465,0,There are many more I could show you 73465,73538,0,but the number of programs on this machine is quite limited, as it's a beta machine 73538,73664,0,It was assembled in a hurry 73664,73717,0,Even the menu is transparent, true 73974,74022,0,Questions anyone? 74022,74105,0,Except for when will 2.0 be released, as I don't know 74105,74181,0,I will answer gladly 74234,74342,0,Come on let's hear the questions. 74395,74644,0,Can you use it as a full featured desktop like an Ubuntu? Is there an office suite? 74644,74895,0,We can use it as a normal desktop, but two things are missing |from Amiga like systems today, is an Office Suite and a decent browser 74895,75106,0,normal browser will hopefully resolve, as there's a KHTML port,|the same as Safari is using 75106,75224,0,Nokia browsers are using also in existing mobile phones 75224,75473,0,of that we have a half finished port which is hopefully will be finished 75473,75581,0,it's possible that it will be part of MorphOS 2.0 75581,75681,0,but if not, it will be downloadable separately 75681,75749,0,It's also developed by a polish guy 75749,75848,0,I can't show it as I had no time to copy it 75848,75914,0,but CSS and all works with it 75914,75947,0,Office Suite we don't have. 75947,76035,0,All I can say to that that personally I'm not using office... 76035,76114,0,not because there isn't one 76114,76277,0,yes, there are a few attempts, like Papyrus office 76278,76390,0,and older Amiga softwares, spreadsheets, etc. 76390,76421,0,those work 76421,76500,0,But it's Word 6 level at most 76500,76578,0,If my mother wants to write a letter it's sufficient 76578,76667,0,for basic stuff like that 76667,76739,0,Question. 76858,76933,0,Unicode handling?|There is. 76933,77065,0,It's just recently integrated 77065,77119,0,to be system level 77119,77194,0,truetype font support is there since ages 77194,77402,0,practically it's present, the operating system can be fully localised 77402,77502,0,it's here is english, but I myself make the hungarian translation 77502,77638,0,but there are many more languages, like russian, and far east languages 77638,77674,0,at least partially 77674,77883,0,and for those this support is a must, and it works, more and more 77956,77982,0,Other questions? 78075,78134,0,I'll show you a few things if I can 78237,78297,0,We have a prefs application if it shows up 78297,78344,0,It managed to open in real huge size 78344,78418,0,Come to the corner, kitty, kitty 78418,78489,0,But you can well see that it's transparent 78776,78836,0,There's it's tail...
