Hi,

I was just wondering what people are doing with their EFIKAs ?

- Sitting in a box waiting for MOS 2.0
- MorphOS dev
- Server (Web/CVS/SQL etc)
- Linux box
- Something cool
- etc...

thanks

I use mine for the web and to play old PC-games in DOSBOX in Linux.

But that will change when MorphOS 2.0 is here!

Hmmm... i'm using it for a mainly server stuff, of course with linux. It's small, silent, cool. ;)

Yup. Waiting for MorphOS 2. And trying to sell the other 17 ;)

I've got the e17ka Gentoo install to the point of the command line. It's a nice step up from SmartFirmware but still not that much fun.

ausPPC i sent you an email and pm, iam from new zealand would be keen getting a efika if you can beat genesi prive for shippin, :) cheers

So how do they run with just the dedicated RAM? Its the only thing keeping me from getting one.

I could see me using it as a web server if I got one now.

Well reason iam buying so i can try mos! peg's arent made anymore id rather buy one then wait for a efika2 to come out :)
Plus its slient,small they goin in right direction i belive.

soon as efika2 does come out with mos on it ill get one also ;) but intill then efika will do, iam sure some one will work out how to upgrade the ram intime.

My first Efika serves as
teleinfo.pb.edu.pl machine
(systeminfo here). The
second one is used for MorphOS development.

I'm trying to build a laptop.
A MOS Laptop
So waitting for MOS 2.0 to

i use mine mostly for linux testing purpose.

You know I should get one. They do look neat.

Unfortunately not a lot. Kubuntu combination too slow to be useful IMHO. However my Efika got me interested in Ubuntu (type) linux which I have now installed on one of my PC laptop.

Waiting for MorphOS 2.0 for the Efika.

Did you use the Gutsy install and boot? I did so and only picked XUbunto / XFCE and its almost as fast as my Debian install (But I have FULL AUDIO with XUbuntu). I waded through so many patches and crap and never got a beep outa the Debian install, Although everything else works fine.. I really wish they would update the Efika.info site with a Debian kernel with sound already setup!!!

Im setting mine up for car audio, and awaiting MorphOS aswell!

I build a digital picture frame out of my Efika, well it is a bit more than a digital picture frame...

Ditto - sitting in a box waiting for MOS 2.0

It is a good idea.

Hey BBRV,
congrats to your "MyView" - looks great.
I guess with the Efika2 I'll do another further advanced frame - well, not just frame but media server.
There will be a market!

Since I now have a Static IP at home, and MOS isn't out yet. I re-installed Linux to take up the whole harddrive and using it as a webserver.

Hopefully the next Efika system will be out before MOS gets released.

Where I can find Doxbox f?r LinuxPPC??
Can you give me the address?

A better question might be: What am I trying to do with my EFIKA? I'm *trying* to set up two Open Client Basics w/ CF cards as thin clients on our network.

If I boot them with an ethernet cable attached, I get to the bplan logo and that's it. Same if I boot with an external USB DVD/CD-RW drive. I could take out the CF cards, put them in a PC and put the OS on that way, but I'd rather do it on the EFIKA itself.

Ideas?

@Forgottenhero

I use Xubuntu and I just installed it through synaptic or apt.

apt-get install dosbox I think.. =)
