Set top boxes with AbiWord

by hub, Monday 2 October 2006 at 11:28 :: AbiWord :: #461 :: rss

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.

Hi Hub,

AbiWord really is great, but it would be even better if there was a port to Maemo that runs on the latest (2006 update) operating system. As far as I can tell, the AbiWord packages for the Nokia 770 are all for the 2005OS and tehre aren't any available for those of us who have upgraded to the latest (well, 3 months old) OS. When there is a port to the 2006OS, then that would be great.

Thanks,
Complex.

jp: I'd love to have a machine to do it. Unfortunately my request of "loan of a machine" from Apple has been handled by /dev/null
