When I say school, I mean University, and the worst I ever did was playing back .au files on workstations across the campus. Beautiful, shiny Sun and DEC workstations and Good god, they were delicious.

Also, the rest of the time was taken up trying to find enough working floppies to copy a entire Linux distro (something like 52 at the last count before CD-ROMs became cheap enough to buy without taking out a mortgage).

And while I am here ; my apologies to shmerl for the flippant remark about Google - it wasn't my intention to sound offensive but I appreciate such a comment makes me sound like a bit of an arsehole (which I may be, you never know).

Missing e-mail client is really the main part for me at least to consider it ready to switch to for day-to-day usage.

Ah, the good old days... :)

And what a noob you must have been back then! Any aficionado would have told you you really only needed 9 floppies to install linux: 1-Boot, 1-Root, 5-Base, 2-Network. And if you had a standard MFM controller, you could do Boot/Root on one floppy, so you only needed 8! Once you had network you could plug-in or dialup and download the rest and use pkgtool. :) You only needed the others if you wanted to install X and friends from floppy, which would have taken forever since floppy reads were only like 4 or 5 times faster than dialup anyway. ;)

Now I want to install pre-Slack on my N900. :confused:

So, Nemo is at least looking like it's starting to come around as a viable system. Is calling/texting stable yet? That's the one thing it has over all the alternative distros IMHO, since not one of them can actually use the GSM bits enough to make a normal call.

How fast of a flash card does one need to get it running reasonably? I have a class 6 (8G), but last I tried it took forever (>5 minutes) to even get to a desktop, and made my old 386-40 look like Speedy Gonzales.

Just in case anyone is curious what Nemo's new file manager looks like... (NB, this is v0.0.4, the next release - v0.0.3 made it into this week's release)

Hope you like it! :)

Re: Nemo mobile discussions
 

Changes for v0.0.4 so far:

Re: Nemo mobile discussions
 

There's Music Shelf preinstalled. But please keep in mind that Nemo is not able to play MP3 out of the box for legal reasons. Ogg and FLAC work fine, though.
That version of Music Shelf is a little old, though. I plan to upgrade it soon to the same version which runs on Harmattan.

Re: Nemo mobile discussions
 

Can you use mplayer on Nemo? It'll play mp3 without any problems.

Re: Nemo mobile discussions
 

Keep up the good work guys -
I would really love
1-Email client
2-IM capabilities

I am not a multimedia guy, but the two features above make alot of difference to me.

Re: Nemo mobile discussions
 

Two more screenshots. Both of these will hopefully be on the next release!

File manager (again, v0.0.4) - demonstrating the shiny new thumbnails. These are cached (as they should have been from day one) meaning no stupid insane wait times to view a directory with lots of images:

And one of the gallery, also showing off the new thumbnails. It shares code with the file manager :)
