Listening to Floss Weekly at www.twit.tv and learning about Inkscape (inkscape.org).

Anything like this for our NIT?

I do have Graphicsmagick on my n810 but have not found any user manual documentation for that as well if anyone knows where that can be found.

Thanks!

Search Please

Pretty much you install the Debian OS onto your memory card, and this allows you to use all the Debian apps, including inkscape.

WOW!

As this looks like it could be potentially dangerous, I will wait til I have a chance to learn a little about the various OS's before I go blazing in!

But, just knowing this is possible is a huge benefit!

Thanks...

Not really. Its actually so simple my 4 year old cousin could probably do it. Don't be afraid...

I believe this package is similar to the imagemagick you'll find in many Linux desktop systems. It's a set of bitmap image manipulation programs that can be called from the command line.

I think a lot of people try out Easy Debian, but they get disappointed by the fact that most modern desktop applications aren't designed to be run on a device with an 4.3" 800x480 screen, a processor equivalent to 1999 Pentium III, and no real hardware graphics acceleration.

Having said that, many people find applications that work well enough on the tablets; I suspect that Inkscape might be one of those. I know the GIMP can run well enough to do reasonably-sized tasks.

The best way to try it out is to use a Class 6 (or better) card with 1.3 GB free. Install Easy Debian and then use Synaptic to install Inkscape.

Thanks George...

Not a "command line" kind of guy here so I guess I will keep looking.
