Diary of a CrazyFrench

In order to help Dodji with Nemiver as providing input and such, I needed a packaging for Ubuntu. So I did it and committed it to the subversion repository. Now you can just ./autogen.sh ; debuild -b ; sudo debi to get Nemiver installed on your Ubuntu or Debian etch.

Off course, if a Debian packager wants to do it, feel free... half of the work is done. I'll push it to Ubuntu universe as soon as a release is done.

Two new set top boxes with AbiWord in it:

• Linutop: a VHS-tape size machine that runs Linux with Firefox, totem, evince, gaim and AbiWord. There is not much more information.

• Easy Gate from Le Neuf: an internet appliance from the french Internet provider Le Neuf. A more detailled review in french.

Looks like the future of AbiWord lies in the hand of the lower power embedded market. OLPC and Maemo are already good proofs of that.
